Hi Ian, The Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator wants an ISO file. What .tar.gzs did you copy and check? I think it helps, if the pendrive is empty (formatted to FAT32, but no files), when you use the Startup Disk Creator. The Lubuntu iso file is smaller than 1 GB, but I don't know if the Startup Disk Creator needs more space anyway, maybe some work-space. I would recommend that you install from lubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-i386.iso and I know that you can use mkusb to make a 1 GB USB pendrive into a Lubuntu live drive and/or install drive.
