gdb within emacs on Windows

I'm running Emacs 22.3 in Windows. Earlier today I had gdb working within Emacs just fine. I was installing QT4 and during the installation it asked me to uninstall MSYS which I quickly clicked through not thinking about things. I think I had gdb installed with the MSYS package and Emacs was using that, but I'm not completely sure. Now when I run the following I get an error in the mini-buffer.

M-x gdb
"Searching for program: no such file or directory, gdb"

I tried to add the path "C:\cygwin\bin" to the Emacs load-path with this code but I still get the same error. 

(message "Adding cygwin/bin to load path.")
(add-to-list 'load-path "c:/cygwin/bin")

Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.

probably adjust your system path to point it where you have gdb installed.

Try using /cygdrv/c/cygwin/bin
