Hi Sandy,
Toshiba Hard Drive Install Mac
What you want to do is quite easy. You do not want to format the drive though for Mac. The best partition scheme for a drive that will be used for both Mac and Windows is to format it exFAT, and its actually easier to do it in Windows than on the Mac side.
Toshiba Hard Drive Driver
In Windows just right click on the drive and select Format. When the formatting window shows up under File System click on the pulldown menu and select exFAT, and then put a check next to Quick Format, label the drive, and then click on Start.

If you want to do this on the Mac side... you would have to use Disk Utilit which is located in your Applications -> Utilities folder.
Toshiba Hard Drive Driver For Mac
In Disk Utility, on the left side will be a list of the drives, select the Toshiba Canivo and then on the right side of the window there will be a few tabs. Click onthe tab labeled Erase. Then under Format you would select exFAT, label the drive and then click on Erase
