UNetbootin was fine at one point but it rarely works anymore.
I'd recommend using balenaEtcher or Rufus for booting Linux distributions or using Boot Camp on macOS in order to boot Windows.
I have had more trouble than luck with unetbootin with recent years. Try another tool that has better support for UEFI boot, which most distros use now.
Tried it laptop never saw boot usb. Then i noticed Unet site never mentions Win 8 and i knew why. Universal USB works for me.
i think it is great incase you lose your cd to which you are trying to install
used to work well in the past, nowadays.. it pretty much doesn't work at all, if you use this software to create a bootable usb, it'll pretty much fail at booting 100% of the times
