Looks like it shouldn't be a problem, providing you're running 10.2 or up.
>From LEM (http://lowendmac.com/macdan/05/1024.html):
"Big drives are supported under OS X 10.2 and later in iMac G4s, eMacs, 2001
Quicksilver G4s,* 2002 Quicksilvers, and all later desktop Macs. All Titanium
PowerBook G4 models with DVI video and all 15" and 17" Aluminum PowerBooks
support big drives."
If, for some reason, it still doesn't work, you might consider getting an IDE
to USB bridge, and using one of the newer Macs for formatting. These are fairly
cheap, and very handy to have.
