If it,s the Encase programme I think you mean, it,s a forensic evidence tool, for analysing computer hard-drives, used by police and security companies.
It cost between ?300/?2000, I just dont know why you would want it!
There are several free disk wiping programmes, that even Encase cant recover, so why bother with it?

Cos I want to see whether the disk wipe programme works - And no I've nothing dodgy to wipe, its because wiped files arent always wiped and therefore still slowing the pc down - this way by running encase to see whats still there I can check if wiped files are wiped !

if you follow me !

Encase, is a totally different thing, it copies hard drives without disturbing them, ie taking the machine away etc, and provides evidence for people who need it.
It,s not a file wipe system, just the opposite in fact, you need
BC Wipe, do a search on google.

No I understand thats its now a wipe file system. As I say I want to see if the wipe file software is effective - ie run wipefile then run encase to see what shows up

Are you saying it wont work this way ?
