I had the same problem! What I had to do was plug it into my MacBook Pro using Target Disk mode. From there I created 2 partitions. One was a small partition (4 gigs) and the other was the remainder of free space. From there I installed 10.4 and it worked from there. I have yet to find out a way to erase a partition :(

So, we sent it to someone to get it fixed. After that it worked fine for about 1 year until the computer stopped booting. So, I wiped the HDD and tried to put a clean install of 10.1 on it but the HDD didn't want to take the install. I plugged it into my iMac 333 and I noticed that the drive was showing up as a 31.3 GB HDD even though it's an 80 GB HDD. After going to ebay and buying a new HDD I found out that the iMac would only boot onto a disk (Debian, Mac OS) with to old HDD and NONE of my computers (iMac 333, 13" MBP, iMac Core Duo) will recognize the new HDD!
