This looks like a known message from Ubuntu ISOs
  https://askubuntu.com/questions/15425/error-when-installing-unable-to-find-a-medium-containing-a-live-file-system
The immediate reason is that the system in the initial RAM filesystem
cannot identify the devive with the files of the main system.

The company FixMeStick Technologies Inc. confesses to base its system
on Linux. Looking at
  https://www.fixmestick.com/eula/
i wonder how it is possible to combine a harsh proprietary license with
the GNU General Public License version 3.

Maybe start at https://support.fixmestick.com/hc/en-us ?

(If you feel the wish to give them a bad day, ask them where they offer
all the source code of the GPL programs which they distribute as binaries.)

Personally i am curious about the kind of filesystem and boot equipment
on that stick.
If you can put it into an operational GNU/Linux system with xorriso
installed, it would be nice to see the output of

  # Set you device address here
  stick=/dev/sdc

  xorriso -indev "$stick" -pvd_info \
          -report_el_torito plain -report_system_area plain

Since that particular stick is most probably not a plain Debian system
and thus not on topic here: Please send the result in private to
  scdbackup@gmx.net


Have a nice day :)
