I have made a bootable USB stick which successfully installs Windows 7.
I'd also like to use it with VM Ware, which only recognises DVD drives.
Can I mount my bootable USB drive to emulate being a DVD drive?

Not that I know of. But you can create an ISO image from it using ISORecorder, then mount it with a tool like Virtual Clonedrive to achieve the same effect.

from a Linux liveCD, isorecorder probably can't grab the boot information as you said.
No, is the answer I seem to have found. Not without using an ISO image.
