NOCD.SI is an SI file. It's the only SI file that gets transferred to LEGO Island's install directory, the rest remain on disc. Its contents are a Smacker video stream.

Details

Officially, NOCD.SI is played whenever the LEGO Island disc is not inserted. Specifically, it plays when it cannot find Lego\Scripts\Isle\ISLE.SI in either the "diskpath" or "cdpath" (having ISLE.SI without the other SI files will cause LEGO Island to softlock on startup, but will not display NOCD.SI).

The three second video features the Infomaniac who charmingly tells you that there is no CD inserted:

The dialogue in NOCD.SI was originally intended to play if the CD was ejected during gameplay. The original unused voice clip still exists within the game files, revealing the full line to be: "Whoops! You have to put the CD back in your computer." Instead, in the final game, ejecting the disc causes the game to crash. Perhaps the developers were unable to implement this functionality and the original line would have been used if they could. The version of this line in NOCD.SI crudely edits out the word "back" to change its meaning.

It seems this line was finalized to only be played if the game starts up without a CD before the game was localized, as the dub versions do not have this cut.
