A friend of mine bought a refurbished computer. It is an all in one

the USB would show up first. Nothing that I have done works. It
just says no files to load and I tried many times. It is an older
computer and it weights a ton. Can anyone tell me how to get Linux
on this machine. Since I did not buy this one I have no idea what is
inside of it. Hope some knows how to get around this problem.

the ways to boot the Debian Installer. If the laptop is old enough,
does it have a built-in optical drive? Alternatively, if it has a
floppy drive, you *might* be able to get somewhere by using the "Hard
Disk" method and writing GRUB to a floppy drive (i.e. boot from the
floppy, then load the installer from the hard drive).
