It is a cd and 0ne of a set of 3 to install linux debian.  It has UEFI for sure.  I can use my computer to put disk one on a usb drive.  Or maybe it would be better if I bought one.

    A friend of mine bought a refurbished computer.  It is an all in
    one ThinkCenter by Lenova.  I have changed settings in the CMOS so
    that 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.

Which installer are you trying to use (DVD/Live)? Does the PC have BIOS or UEFI? Have you tried booting from CD/DVD? Some older computers do not properly boot from USB.
