If an error was encountered while creating a macos sequoia bootable USB on Windows, you can try using Microsoft's own tools:

Windows Subsystem for Linux: This feature allows you to run a Linux-based environment directly on your Windows machine, which can be useful for creating a bootable macOS USB drive.

Note: Use a high-quality USB drive with a high capacity (at least 16GB) to minimize errors.
Try using a different USB port or computer if you encounter issues during the creation process.
Make sure your Mac is compatible with the macOS version you're trying to install.
