I don't follow your logic.  If this dialogue might be talking about a
thumbdrive, that sounds to me like a valid reason to want to say
something general like

   "The device does not contain a useful installation image."
or
   "No useful installation image found on detected media."

Okay, the message may be coming from something specifically named
"cdrom-detect", but users don't know that, do they?
