I've reformatted many "pc" discs. What you wil lose is any special software that does clever things with your pc. Since you have a mac, it makes no difference.
Don't forget to have journalling turned on, and to format for mac OS X. If you have any OS pre-X you amy want to use the option so the disc is readable by earlier OS's. You can do all this using disc utility in your utilities folder. But maybe you should wait for a real computer guru to answer: over to you, truly knowledgeable people!
