I had a similar situation, and in your case unetbootin didn't work.
What I finally did was just use dd. Although, I did it from a Linux
machine, not from Windows. But dd is available for Windows.

I needed to install Wheezy-LXDE (32-bit) on a Eeepc 900.  So, no CD
drive.  From another Linux machine onto which I had already downloaded
the ISO, I just dd if= of= (that
would be something like /dev/sdb, no partition number.  Make sure the
flash drive is unmounted.

That was all I did, and the flash drive booted right up and the install
went normally.

This would require troubleshooting your use of these two programs within
a Windows environment. Personally, I would use Win32 Disk Imager and try
first with a netinst ISO. Best would for you to do

   cat ISO > /dev/sdX

from within a Linux install (tails?).

I tried to install
debian-live-7.4-amd64-xfce-desktop.isoonto
a 16gb sandisk USB using both Unetbootin and Linux Live USB in Windows
and when I try to boot it all I get is "missing operating system."  Does
anyone know why this is happening?

I previous had tails on this USB and it was always able to boot just fine.






Try with:
