Sysprep and Mounted Volumes

I'm trying to take an image of a Windows XP Professional
installation. I have 1 extended partition with 4 logical
drives that I have mounted to various points in the file
system, not as added drive letters. Every time I run
sysprep to prepare for imaging, sysprep wipes out the
mount points and loads the logical drives as drives
letters, leaving the mount points as unaccessible
Junctions. I can manually reset each one of these drives
but that takes a couple of minutes, and I have over 500
systems to image with this setup. Anyone know of a way to
keep sysprep from changing the mount points, or how to
remount the logical drives correctly up reboot? Thanks.
 
What Sysprep is doing is expected behavior.

What you can do though is create a script to run with
Diskpart and include this script in cmdlines.txt to setup
the mount points again silently.

Then during Mini Setup or Windows Welcome this would be
processed.
