This was unexpected. After moths trying to install a Windows in a partition with bootcamp, I finally succeed, but now OS X is gone...
My Mac Mini: 1.83MHz 4GB RAM 128GB SSD in the main SATA and the old 80GB HDD in the combodrive SATA with adapter.
I did all the procedure, followed the instructions and Bootcamp of my OS X Lion divided the original bootable disk in two partitions. The first, remains the OS X Lion. The second were ready for Windows. So I used a DVD with installation by USB superdrive (a SATA superdrive with USB adapter) and the Windows installer did the job right. Windows 7 32 bit is now running, and I am now using to write this.
When I turn on the Mini, the Windows Boot Manager loads and there is two options to boot:
If I choose Windows 7, will boot Windows ok. If I choose NST Mac OS X, will display a screen with a green Chamaleon on the top and Windows logo at the center, a countdown to try to boot Windows. I can press F8 before blow up (will usually return to Windows Boot Manager). Then will show details of the Chamaleon:

The partition schema is reported as MBR, however, I know is GPT since was not formated. I think is hybrid and the Chamaleon might not be able to see the OSX partition right or OSX just can't boot like this.
There is more: I can't boot by USB as before to try to restore Mac OS X. I tried flash drive, DVD, by pressing Alt key, etc. nothing stops the Mac Mini from loading Windows Boot Manager.
I need some help...
