While in may be possible to delete the partitions, it's obvious that the PP is meant to be set up like this. Maybe yours is now different due to something the Apple system has done and hence the problem.
Out of curiosity I looked at mine with fdisk, same output. I have now looked at it with GParted. It picks up a 368MB Fat16 FS but cannot mount /dev/sdc1 (so it isn't actually seeing the partition). Hmmm, I wonder if all those fdisk errors are to do with the hidden boot partition?
