Well, since your machine requires Mac OS to use YDL, you will need to 
format with a Mac OS CD.  My suggestion was based only on the fact 
thatyou were not going to have a Mac OS partition.  The YDL Cd can 
not make a Mac partition that the Mac OS can see.  So you will infact 
need a Mac OS CD of some sort.  Sorry my idea didnt help.
