It will depend on what formatting system was used for the hard drive. If it uses FAT-32 format then it will work with a Mac but with the limitations associated with FAT32 formatting (file size/naming etc.). If you own the drive and are only using it with the Mac you can reformat it (using Disk Utility found in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder) as a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) drive.

How do you turn your mac hard drive into a windows hard drive?
I'm not quite sure what you mean, so I'll give you both answers: "How do you use a hard drive for Mac and Windows on the same machine?" On a mac, insert a Windows install CD or DVD, and the computer will ask you if you want to set up windows to run alongside mac. In the process you will partition the hard drive, so you will kind of have a windows hard drive, and a mac hard drive, but on the same disk. "How do you remove a Mac hard drive and put it in a Windows machine?" I am not a technical expert, so you might want to look up "How to remove and install a hard drive".
