If you want to load SDI images you can use WinPE instead of XPe. You'll
need to patch the ntldr and startrom.com to point to different winnt.sif
files (to load different images) but you can get it to work very nicely.

Plus you don't need to import the ntldr blobs etc. Just need a part/disk
BLOB.

Does this help?
