 YS replies:
    The file is encoded into the cd during production and is not visible
on Windows or DOS. It works similar to a music cd. Windows knows
to auto-start a music cd based on a confirmation pulse from your cd
drive. This is why music cd's load even though you can't see the file
image which starts it. This file image is visible using a cd analyzer, but
it can't see the contents just the pulse pattern. If I was to geuss, I would
say it's encoded with a hexadecimal address referencing boot procedure
in the form of Assembly language.
