USB Linux gOS install from Windows

Essentials for creating a Portable gOS using Windows:
* gOS ISO
* gOSConvert3.exe (files within do the USB conversion)
* HP USB format tool (optional)
* 1GB or larger USB flash drive (we used a 1GB stick)
* A Windows host PC to perform the build

How to install gOS on a flashdrive using Windows:

1. Download the HP USB format tool and format your stick using a Fat16 or Fat32 file system
2. Download and run gOSConvert3.exe, a gOS folder is created
3. Download the gOS ISO and place the ISO in your gOS folder
4. From your gOS folder, click fixgOS2.bat and follow the onscreen instructions
5. Reboot your PC and select your USB device from the Boot Menu or system BIOS and proceed to boot gOS from your USB device

If all goes well, you should now be running gOS portably from a USB flash drive!
