Why not reformat the card? There's nothing on it to lose.

How do I reformat the card?
In the PPC or other CF reader?

comment moved so there is a proper flow of conversation rather than
jumping from top to bottom to top to ........

That's up to you, and will depend on what utilities you have- you've
not said what you have so I can't really advise.

If you have formatting utilities for both platforms you can choose, if
you only have software for one of the platforms it kind of becomes
obvious where to do it unless you wish to seek out other software.
Do you have the ability to format on your ppc? If not then I would
expect that your PC has that ability.
