It sounds as if your BIOS is set to boot from USB rather than your internal hard disk.
You need to know how to configure your BIOS to change the boot device. If you still have the motherboard or computer manual then the information on setting a boot device will be in there.
If you don't have this you can find the make and model of you motherboard from Linux:
1) Boot into Linux from your USB drive;
2) Open a terminal with CTRL-ALT-F2;
3) Enter this command (you will need your password)
sudo lshw | more
4) Look for lines similar to this:
*-core:
description: Motherboard
product: FM2A88X Extreme6+
vendor: ASRock
So I have an ASRock FM2A88X Extreme6+, and I can go to their website to download the user guide.
5) Close the Terminal.
