How do I install the software?

I bought this for my macbook. The directions say to open windows explorer but I don't have that explorer; I have safari and firefox. I went to the toshiba support site and they don't list the model as even available. Help.

thanks
Plug it into your Mac.
It should mount on the desktop. (Don't worry if it doesn't)
Launch Disk Utility and Partition the drive into ONE partition.
Choose Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) as the format.
Under OPTIONS, choose GUID.

Hit the Apply button and you should be good to go

How do I get support for HDWC130XK3J1?

Tried www.toshibastorage.com and couldn't find support for it. Three days after I bought it simply died, AC power adapter probably dead or something else, 'cause the Canvio led is not even coming on...
http://support.toshiba.com/support/home

and then enter the correct model or serial number
