Checking out the iso image, it's a customized isohybrid build of gentoo linux, suitable for burning to an optical disc, or copying to a usb device. To copy such an image to a usb device, this page has links to a few programs that can be used. The page is for Mageia linux, but the instructions will work for a Gentoo linux iso image too. https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Dump_Mageia_ISO_on... ools One important thing to understand, is that the iso image contains it's own partition table, so when copying it to a usb flash drive, it has to be copied to the drive, not to an existing partition on the drive. If the drive currently has any partitions on it, make sure they are not mounted. Any data currently on the drive, including it's partition table will be overwritten. Be patient when copying the half gig iso image to the usb drive. It will take a while, as they are much slower than a hard drive. Depending on the usb drive, and other factors, it may appear to complete quickly, even though it's still being written. Give it at least 5 minutes. When you reboot the computer, if it ignores the usb stick and tries to boot directly to the hard drive reboot it again, and watch for any sort of a message such as "Press f7 for setup". Which key needs to be pressed will vary depending on the computer's bios. Once in the setup, look for any options similarly worded to "boot order", and in that section ensure the usb device entry is moved to be before the hard drive option, then save the setup changes, and reboot, which should then load the recovery system. FYI, I'm responding to the article as seen in alt.comp.anti-virus, as I'm not subscribed to the pc-homebuilt newsgroup.
