lost 2gb when trying ubuntu

[gravguy]

Hi, I'm totally new to Ubuntu. First time I used it was yesterday after starting a computer programming class at college. I just wanted it on cd so I could boot from the cd whenever I needed to do class work on my laptop, without changing anything on the machine itself.

Downloaded ISO file, made cd, it worked no problem. But when I rebooted back to Vista (Home Premium) I found I was missing an additional 2GB!

I checked the partitions and there are just the 3 regular partitions that Toshiba put on the drive. Did the cd leave a file somewhere? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

PS I only used the "Try Ubuntu" option. I didn't install anything.

Well, if you didn't calculate it originally, the ISO itself is 700MB.
2GB is not too much disk space, are you sure it's from trying ubuntu? Maybe burning the cd left some temporary file which takes space? Or even if you deleted something until you empty the recycle bin the space is not freed.

yeah i already took into account the 700MB iso file. I checked the burning software and it does use a temp folder but there's nothing in it. Its kinda weird. Recycle bin empty also.
