I'm not familiar with netbooks, but this link shows that the Acer Aspire One netbook only has an 8GB SSD.

If that is the case with you, then it's likely that there isn't enough room left on the drive for the Linux installation with Windows XP on it.
That link also recommends using a separate SD card in card reader slot for to use as a separate /home partition because of the SSD size limitation. In effect, it's saying the best way to install on a system like yours is to have the "/" (root) partition installed to the SSD and have /home and swap partitions on the SD card. Do you have an SD card you could use for this purpose? (If not, you will still be able to fit the Linux Lite installation on the SSD -- you just won't have a whole lot of room for saving things.)
To confirm that this may be your problem, boot-up using the live USB. Then open a terminal (Menu -> Accessories -> Terminal), and enter these commands in the terminal one at a time:
(Note: the first command ends in a lowercase "L", not the number 1.)
Copy/Paste that output from terminal back here for us to see. To do that, hit the code button "#" above where you type reply, then paste the output between the two code blocks -- [ code ]...[ /code ].
