When copying the Image from the hard drive to the Mathematica notebook, what can I do to have the path of the Image?
I tried Imort[img] // Path where img is Image but it didn't work.

You can use the name to find the path, but not the image variable.
name = "image.png";
img = Import[name]
FindFile[name]
FindFile finds the same file that Import finds. If you have another image with the same name in a different directory, by changing to that directory (with SetDirectory) Import and FindFile will find the second image.

$\begingroup$ I don't know the name, I just drag and drop the image to the notebook. $\endgroup$– SuTronCommented Jan 18, 2015 at 12:59

$\begingroup$ Then you have copied the image and the path information has gone. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 18, 2015 at 13:06

$\begingroup$ So not to loose the path info, I need to import it not to copy? $\endgroup$– SuTronCommented Jan 18, 2015 at 13:08

$\begingroup$ In that case what is the point to use FindFile, if you know the name? $\endgroup$– SuTronCommented Jan 18, 2015 at 13:21
