How to boot a USB to reinstall windows when I have ubuntu installed?

My ubuntu system is basically useless now because it always says the error "Errors were found while checking the disk drive for /". I can't do anything with it because of that. :( and I want to go back to windows 7 for now and I am on Ubuntu and it's the only OS that is in my computer, but it seems that when I go to the boot options when I restart my PC, it could not detect the bootable USB that I have, and I read somewhere that Ubuntu couldn't detect the bootable USB in the bootloader, so can someone help me boot my USB to reinstall windows 7?

Thank you :)

PS. I have another laptop that I used to check if it is read as bootable, and it is able to detect it. In my ubuntu laptop, it just says USB HDD on the boot menu, but when I run it on a different laptop that currently runs on windows 7 it is named that it is an installation for win 7. Which means my windows 7 laptop can boot a USB but my ubuntu laptop can't.
