The SDI file itself is partitioned into the following sections:
 
; Boot [[Binary large object|BLOB]] : This contains the actual boot program, STARTROM.COM. This is analogous to the boot sector of a hard disk.
; Load BLOB : This typically contains [[NTLDR]] and is launched by the boot BLOB.
; Part BLOB : This contains the actual boot runtime (i.e. the contents of the disk image including any Operating System [OS] files) and also includes the [[boot.ini]] (used by NTLDR) and ntdetect.com files which should be located within the root directory of the runtime. The size of the runtime cannot exceed 500 MB. In addition to this requirement the runtime must also be capable of dealing with the fact that it is booting from a ramdisk. This implies that the runtime must include the "Windows [[RAM Disk]] Driver" component (specified within the boot.ini).
