The Gentoo installer CD image should be bootable. Get the
MD5 or SHA checksums for the CD images from your
local Gentoo mirror site.

The checksums for the latest x86 live Cd are:
# MD5 HASH
7a21c2f09edd51612fb2cd7984dd3577 livecd-i686-installer-2007.0.iso
# SHA1 HASH
d876060d2b322b9afffdcd81da2ec8433e489d93 livecd-i686-installer-2007.0.iso

If you are using a different image file, you will need to get the
correct checksums for the images you have. There are several
freeware checksum utilities for Windows.

Once you have confirmed that the images are OK, you should
be able to burn them a CD using the Burn Image function
in Nero. Enable the Verify written data option to make
sure that your burned disc is an exact copy of the image.
