Internal hard disk drive not found.
Hey all I have an Alienware X51 R3 and I was messing with my command prompt and accidentally changed what I believe is the path too boot my hard drive... In the command prompt I said
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\
I then reset my computer and now I get a "Internal hard disk drive not found to resolve this issue, try to reseat the drive. No bootable devices. Strike F1 to retry boot, F2 enter Setup Menu, F5 enter PSA"
I don't know what to do, I can boot my Linux OS by inserting my USB and I can mount my HDD and access everything in there. However I dont know how to boot my windows OS. How can I fix this? How can I fix the path back to my HDD?

You will need external media to boot into the Command Prompt, either a Recovery Drive or Install Media. You may be able to download the install media from Dell and make a bootable flash drive.
Another alternative might be to boot into the media and run the command below.
bootrec /rebuildbcd
The real entry looks like the one below.. Of course, your volume numbers and GUID numbers will probably be different.
path \EFI\MICROSOFT\BOOT\BOOTMGFW.EFI
While there you might do a bcdedit to make sure it looks something like this.

Very helpful so far thank you! I've managed to boot from a USB and get into my command prompt. Here is what it looks like after I changed to \EFI\MICROSOFT\BOOT\BOOTMGFW.EFI, however it still does't work.

I know volume 1 is my main HDD, but thats as far as I've gotten.
