I was trying to boot Ubuntu 16.04 LTS when it displayed this: "This kernel requires an x68-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU." What could I do to fix this?

the i686 is a 32bit CPU. You downloaded the x86-64 which is a 64bit version and will not run on that CPU. – Terrance Jul 10 '17 at 23:33

You downloaded the Ubuntu for 64-bit processor architecture. However, you need the one for 32-bit architecture. You can find it here http://releases.ubuntu.com/xenial/ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-i386.iso
