Do you have any kind of restore media for the Mac mini? Is it a 2011 or 2012 Mac that originally came with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion? If so Mac coming with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion has physical restore media included.

Thnx for propt reply
This is a early 2012 model.. came with osX Lion. But no physical bootable media was provided. I have original Mountain Lion dmg with me . Main problem is that I don't have a mac machine now to create the bootable disc, only windows machine.
Can you guide me farther ??

There was no early 2012 model, only 2011 models still being sold in 2012.
Anyway, if you still have the OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion DMG and hopefully access to another Mac, the last link in my first reply should be able to help you if you also have an 8 GB USB flash memory thumb drive.
Otherwise you need to use Internet Recovery (first link in my first reply).
If you have internet access and can download 4.x GB easily, you can use the Internet Recovery option.

Also know, that installing Mac OS X might need you to format the HDD inside, thus deleting the already present Windows installation.
