Use a Linux Live CD or the mac install CD, when into a GUI OS you can format the partition as Mac OS Journaled, and this will allow you to install OS X on it.
 
ouch! you could try this "Boot your computer using the XP cd and use it to create a new 30gb FAT partition. After it is created insert your OSX disk. You can now use disk utility and your new partition to partition your entire hard drive with the correct settings required to reinstall OSX." Or. Have a read through this thread:
