I tried to install Windows 7 on a bootable USB. It was successful and it told me to reboot now. I clicked it and then it rebooted, and when I selected the USB on boot, this happened:

When I opened it, it said UNETBOOTIN as the heading and the option only was default. I clicked on default and nothing happened. There was also a countdown: Automatic boot in 10,9........0 and then the countdown restarted and restarted continuously while nothing was happening. There was also an option to press Tab. When I pressed it something was written like unetinit something like that.

How can I fix this?

Unetbootin is designed specifically for Linux distributions and will not work if you are trying to create a Live Windows USB.

You can use an application called WinToUSB to achieve this. However, you will need to have access to a Windows computer to start the installation process.

I fixed the same UNetbootin countdown error by reformatting the USB drive to FAT32 and then trying the same way as before with UNetbootin.

If you simply want to create a USB-based installer, just use Rufus:
