if you dont want to erase the existing contents of your USB stick （or you
even dont need a USB stick）

then

 grab vmlinuz and initrd from
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/

then place  debian install iso of same version under root partition of disk
（not only work for usb ，but also the partition on sdX you would not destory
in next installation）

reboot with these too vmlinuz and initrd from GRUB （you should have it as
you mentioned existing workable system）


and you are all through，nothing special to iso boot
