Are you trying to load Lubuntu 6? If so, that is an obsolete version. Go to distrowatch.com and download Lubuntu 10.04 or later version and try that.

This is the 10.9 version

Your screen shot shows Lubuntu 6, and Lubuntu curent versions are 10.04, 10.10, 11.04, and 11.10. To make sure you have the current version, download the .iso from distrowatch.com, making sure you have the one appropriate for your hardare, i386, or x86_64. Burn the .ISO image, not copy, and try to install that. If you want Ubuntu, that also comes in 10.04 which is the Long Term Support version, 10.10, 11.04 and 11.10 versions, also available from distrowatch.com.

I would recommend one of the "main" DE's instead of Lubuntu to start, personal opinion is that Gnome, Unity or KDE is a better place to start. I started with Gnome 2, now I have branched out and tried a lot of them, running E17 most of the time now but still like to play around with Gnome-Shell. With that particular system, you aren't going to see huge performance gains by not using what I consider to be a main (and thus more supported) Desktop Environment. A
