How to Fix External HD with DiskWarrior?

I have a 2TB Seagate GoFlex Desk external HD. I have used this HD for my TImeMachine backups and now it will not mount on my iMac. I have posted about this before and was told it was probably a bad catalog and could be fixed with DiskWarrior. How do I fix it with DiskWarrior?

Hi there, as for the DiskWarrior error code you met, I suggest you report it to Alsoft while trying to rebuild the directory in the lower version by putting DiskWarrior into Scavenge mode (Re-run DiskWarrior on the external HD again, press the Option key when choosing Rebuild). If the rebuilding fails, do as Disk Utility suggests: back up files, reformat your disk, and restore files. Provided that your external hard drive keeps unmounted, you cannot back up the files on it. You, therefore, should use data recovery software to access the files on it beforehand and then reformat your external HD.

Download iBoysoft Data Recovery Software to scan for inaccessible files on the external hard drive and go to format your disk.
