I searched all over the Internet but there are no solution to my problem, whatever I add, grub menu doesn't show up, I did a grub update but it doesn't detect windows, I don't know what to do, I have to log on Windows 7.

Just because you say Grub menu does not show up. Did you try to press and hold the left Shift key while booting? – Takkat Feb 21 '12 at 19:29

IF you have ur windows 7 DVD, boot into recovery and open command prompt

type in 

bootrec /fixmbr

then

bootrec /fixboot

now reboot and insert ur ubuntu live cd and in terminal type

sudo update-grub

this should fix it

for more info on the bootrec tol visit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392

Unetbootin isn't very user-friendly. I'd suggest Linux Live USB creator, which I think is linuxlive.org.
