Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Im using ubuntu for the first time. I tried to install Windows 7 onto my new pc using a usb boot i made on my vista 32bit laptop, but it wasnt detecting any hard drives to install on. It would give me this message. I made a ubuntu boot drive instead with the same usb, but I know nothing about Ubuntu.

Whenever I select the Win 7 ISO from the file browser in Make Start Up Disk nothing happens at all.

I want to try making a new iso boot on a new usb stick using a different program. My laptop has since died. Ive been trying for hours, but my dyslexia is getting the better of me. Please write to me simply, thank you!

The "Startup Disk creator" application which comes with Ubuntu only supports Ubuntu / Linux ISOs, so it will not be able to write a Windows 7 ISO to a USB stick.

In order to create a bootable USB stick for a Windows, on an Ubuntu machine, see How can I create a Windows bootable USB stick using Ubuntu?, or you could burn the Windows 7 ISO to a DVD.
