drop frame warning?

I am confused about drop-frame versus non drop. As default, I've been working in FCP with drop-frame checked. I've shot on 24P which I am now learning is non-drop. What does this mean? I've been capturing and cutting with no problem. Now, I'm trying to capture footage logged on a different computer and it gives me this warning:

'You are about to capture drop-frame media to a non drop-frame clip. If you proceed , you may experience changes in logged in and out points, problems relinking media, or removal of master clip relationships.'

What does this mean? Should I say OK? And for future reference, what should my drop frame FCP setting be? Please help. Thanks.
