If you can't boot from a CD, it is difficult to get to the menu on the CD to use the test item there :) :) You *can* manually check the md5sum of the ISO itself, since we provide those both on the relevant Lubuntu Wiki page and as a lubuntu-whatever.iso.md5 file which can be downloaded. You can also check the md5sum of what you burned to a CD-R manually, but you need the number of 2K blocks the .iso file takes up to do that, so you need to do something like dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=2k count=$(($(stat --printf %s lubuntu-natty-alpha3.iso)/2048)) 2>/dev/null |md5sum and compare the output with the md5 hash value in the lubuntu-natty-alpha3.iso.md5 file. The above is a decent test to do right after burning a CD. Once you are past that stage, and assuming you have multiple PCs around, I think it is probably easier (and may even be a better test of a CD) to just boot the questionable CD in a different PC, and run the "Test CD" menu item there, instead.
