I have a big problem with Ubuntu for laptops (Lubuntu), in that I need to define a "Root File System". I am completely new to the Ubuntu family, and thus, I come to you for help. How do I access the Partitioning Menu on my computer? I am running an Acer Aspire One, Model number KAV60, with, currently, Windows XP SP3, and Lubuntu 14.10. If further information is needed, I'd be happy to give it, as long as this can get fixed.

For root file system you have to select (/) as your mountpoint. This sets the partition used as the primary drive by the system.
If you still have problems installing Lubuntu, provide us with more information about the errors, so as to help us better understand the problem.

boot into your lubuntu live-usb, and when it asks you ether to install alongside windows or delite windows and only install lubuntu, choose something else.
there create three ext4 partitions,
first size it at least 20gb an mount it as /
second which you gonna mount as home size it to your liking this will contain all your personal files.
3rd size it as double as your RAM and mount it as swap area.
Note you can add or remove partitions by the - and + in the bottom of the setup window.
