That black display of grub indicates that the system is not able to find the boot option in your flash drive .
May be your flash disk is not successfully created ..or you have chosen wrong option for launching.
Just change the boot order and see if your previous windows is opening or not.
Then check options for your flash disk those are usb disk(uefi) And usb disk .. If your windows is of gpt partition scheme just select first uefi option in bios. If not then select another.
If you want to check your partition scheme then Open command prompt in windows as win+R . Then type cmd
Type diskpart.. Type list disk In that under gpt column if it shows * Then your system is in uefi. Else msdos.
So select according to this . Definitely this will work if i got the correct problem of yours..
Hope it could help you..
