Ok, did that, windows told me "cannot repair it, do you want to send information to microsoft servers?" stuff like that.
Anyway, rebooted with IAtkos, installed Chameleon and let Kext Wizard run.
My Chameleon_Installer_log.txt would be this

Will try now to reboot from the HDD
Same result, different bootloader. Get still the boot0:error . Even tried to set the partition of lion as active again, also boot0:error.
I don't know, windows repair not working and this not working. Looks like i will have to live with a CD in my drive to boot up huh?

I'm out of ideas... you could fully format your HDD or try some windows app that can fix boot problems...
Might do that...unfortunately have to work these days so will do that when having a lot of free time
@ben
the same problem was solved some posts ago... search maybe for nanoseconds or something like that.

@Ben, it's a known issues that unplugging something from the usb 3 ports will result in Kernel Panics (thats the term for the screen you get). USB2 should work fine with proper DSDT, if you have the i7 version of this laptop than it should work just fine with the DSDT found on this forum. I can't guarantee for other versions.. as the DSDT file might need tweaks.

@ Maxey :
Concerning the automatic repair tool of Windows, it only works if your Windows partition is set as active. Because when OS X partition is active, the repair tool can't find Win7 OS.
Try diskpart command (launch the cmd in Windows) and set your Windows partition as active.
Type diskpart, then list disk, then select disk X (X is the HDD with Windows partition), then list partition and select partition Y (Y is the number of the Win partition) and in the end active… Then reboot with Windows 7 dvd-rom and repair startup.

@ DoiX :
Concerning my blue tooth chip, it's not a miniPCI one. I had a Acer Aspire 5920G before my L502x and it had bluetooth. I thought it was a miniPCI card, so I took a screwdriver and fully opened the Acer (broken because my 8600M GT burnt) to pick the bluetooth chip out. It was under the keyboard and looked like this :

Broadcam bluetooth chip : BCM92045NMD-95
It was directly connected to the motherboard and I don't think we have the same plug on ours... That's why I bought a Belkin mini USB bluetooth...
If you have any idea on where to plug it, let me know cause I would be interested, to know if it works or not...

Ah , ok, damn
btw i repaired with windows and installed Chimera with the standalone installer from the tony forum. (However it say
Standalone Installer to update to the latest Chimera boot loader. )
It is a real installer not just an update right? As i also wondered that the installation routine (compared to the chameleon installation routine) was so fast.
Well be it as it might be, i still get the boot0:error.

It should be an installer... i'll post later what you can do to check it really is an installer not an update
Got to leave now.

Oh great DoiX! You would be my hero... Have a nice day and I'm waiting for your infos 
@Maxey : I installed Lion once again on my L502x from scratch as I described to you in PM (because I had problems with Win7) and it's alright, with Chimera 1.8 standalone installer.
