VMWare won't boot from usb

So I've made a bootable USB flash with Windows 7 installer. It works on real hardware, but I can't use it on my VMware. I've connected USB via menus, but bios won't see it. What's the problem?

By default, the VMware BIOS won't see USB devices.  Easiest method is to use PlopBoot ISO to load, then select USB from the menu once that loads up in your VM.
