windows 7 - My computer won't boot, and I don't have another device to install usb repair tools

So, I recently uninstalled Linux on my Hp Elitebook 8570p. It came installed with Windows 7, so, I booted into windows 7 to delete the Linux partition. When I restarted my computer, it won't start! I get the following error:


Boot Device not found, Please install an operating system on your hard disk


I don't have a live USB available in order to do repairs: it would have been simple enough to use boot repair. But, I found an option in my BIOS where I can change my boot method into UEFI, and I can then enter a custom boot path into the BIOS to boot from. So I wanted to ask, what is the boot path for windows 7?
