sysprep does not read sysprep.inf after imaging

I am running into a problem with Sysprep. I used Setup manager on a Windows
XP SP2 to create a sysprep.inf answer file and I put the file in C:\sysprep
folder. I also put setupcl.exe in that same folder.

After I image the workstation, Windows starts and it prompts me for all the
information, as if it's not reading the sysprep.inf file. It also deletes
the C:\sysprep folder after I go through the mini-setup and check the C
drive.

I'm using Zenworks to image my workstation but that shouldn't have anything
to do with it, since the workstations are not reading the sysprep.inf file.
 
When creating your sysprep.ini file, did you choose "Yes, Fully Automate the
installation"? The first few lines of my sysprep.ini file look like this:

;SetupMgrTag
[Unattended]
OemSkipEula=Yes
TargetPath=\WINDOWS
UpdateInstalledDrivers=Yes
InstallFilesPath=C:\sysprep\i386
OemPnPDriversPath=sysprep\Drivers\Audio

[GuiUnattended]
AdminPassword="ADMINISTRATORPASSWORDHERE"
EncryptedAdminPassword=NO
AutoLogon=Yes
AutoLogonCount=1
OEMSkipRegional=1
TimeZone=20
OemSkipWelcome=1

Then continues on with [UserData], etc...

Also, it will delete the C:\sysprep after it goes through the 'minisetup'.
If you choose quit instead of restart, then maybe check and see if the
C:\sysprep folder is still there after you run sysprep but before you restart
the computer.

Hope this helps some,

I read another post, try checking "Use Mini-setup" box and have the sysprep.inf in the sysprep folder
