No. DiskWarrior only repairs Mac (HFS) volumes and only runs on Macs.

DiskWarrior works on external drives.
To make a drive fully usable on a Mac system, go to Disk Utility's
Partition tab, select the drive, click the "Options..." button, select
Apple Partition Map (APM)* or GUID Partition Table (GPT)*, click OK,
then create one or more Mac OS Extended volumes on the disk.
* The choice of APM or GPT depends on which versions of Mac OS you will
use the drive with and whether you may want to use it to boot a
particular Mac model.
