Been a while since I've done this, but I believe this is it…
Boot from the restore disc.
Select Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
Select your hard drive
Click on the "Partition" tab.
Click on drop down menu under "Volume Scheme" and select "1 Partition".
Select "Apply".
I don't remember if you have to do an erase, but you will be able to tell.
Now do your restore.
