In my previous post I created a USB installation disk with Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool. Now I am going to use the USB disk to install my systems but also I can use this media to install my virtual machines. VMWare Workstation 6.5 or lower does not support to boot from USB removable disks, but there is a workaround to achieve that.
Start VMWare Workstation and open the properties of your VM; than create new virtual harddisk and use the physical partition of the inserted USB disk. In following screenshots you can see what I did to get this done:

If you are planning to deploy and install Windows 7 on your computer systems and you are downloading ISO files than this tool can help you in creating the USB or DVD’s installation files. Now days I only download the ISO file from MSDN of the Microsoft Volume Licensing websites.
The Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool allows you to create a copy of your Windows 7 ISO file on a USB flash drive or a DVD. To create a bootable DVD or USB flash drive, download the ISO file and then run the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. Once this is done, you can install Windows 7 directly from the USB flash drive or DVD.
To download the tool please click here. Run the setup, next and install.
Start the “Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool” shortcut from the menu.
Browse the iso file and click next.
Choose USB drive or DVD.
Select your removable drive and click Begin copying.
That’s it! Insert the USB drive and power the system, change the boot order and select the removable drive.

We have a Sharepoint “Document Library” which has several different subfolders. E.g.
Within these subfolders there are several documents stored. For example within the “Form” subfolder where form documents are stored based on word or PDF files. All those subfolders within the “Information Technology” document folder hold several documents. The challenge I had is to create a table of content page which showed all those subfolders with their document content. I created a new page based on “Blank Web Part Page” and add the “Information Technology” document library which showed all the folders.
I could change current view and change the “Folders” option to show all items without folders but still this solution didn’t help. I wanted to filter individual “Document Library” subfolders and their content.
I tried all possible options with this “Information Technology” webpart to filter for a subfolder but nothing which helped me. Than I learned from Laura Rogers here how to insert a “Data View Web Part” and filter the content within a “Document Library”.
Some steps to achieve this:
The result:
Hopefully by now you get the picture how to customize the data view webpart. You can change all columns and insert hyperlinks were needed.

Today I watched the 5 part screencasts series presented by Bjørn’s from the USP Journal. If you never worked with creating custom workflows with Sharepoint Designer before than this is a good start. These series helped me build some business logic for a internal Sharepoint project I am doing right now.
