If you have already an OSx86 system running, maybe this could work: Insert the Install DVD and open Disk Utility. Select the DVD and create an .dmg image from it, but it must be readable/writeable. Now you should be able to insert new kexts, but the permissions must be set correctly. After this you can burn the DVD again, use a RW disc for this. But I don't know if it also restores the bootloader (this is no HFS+ format), in that case you have to use the switch-disc method.
Something different: Are you using a combines Windows-MacOS-HD? I can't recommend this. If you use Disk Utility one on a HD, Windows has problems to manage them. Partition Magic 8 marks the whole harddisk as 'DEFECTIVE', with a big yellow bar which you can't move, delete or anything. The only way to make this HD useable again is to delete the MBR - and in that case you will destroy any data on the HD. Better use a single HD for MacOS and Windows, ist also easier 'cause you can use the Windows XP/Vista bootselector to switch between the OS.
