How can I format a mac partition from windows?

I upgraded the hard drive from my Macbook White Unibody, and because I didn´t had the mac os x DVD I had to install Windows 7 on it.

I made a partition for windows, and another for mac os, but when I want to instal mac from the internet recovery on that partition I can´t do it because the partition is in NTFS format (because I created it in windows).

So my cuestion is: ¿How can I format the partition to a mac format (like mac os plus) from windows.

MacBook, Windows 7

Install the MacDrive trial into Windows.

Alternatively, restart from the Internet Recovery partition and use the Disk Utility to reformat the entire drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with the GUID partition table format.
