Sysprep does this to me as well. Our physical CDROM Drives are all set to Z: in my environment. sysprep always makes them return to the first available drive letter D,E,F, etc.
Sysprep will also wipe out your windows source file location if you've specified it
In general I do this across the board for all templates. Add a folder C:\post_sysprep" In that folder, put a file called post_sysprep.bat
Then add this file to run after sysprep in your Customization Specification. Just do this as one of your template steps even if you're not using it.
Now in this folder put .reg files, .bat files, .vbs files or whatever you need to do post sysprep work and add them to your .bat file
Once you've got this setup, you can do something like this: (In fact I'm going to do it now because I'm tired of changing my CDROM letters)
run dispart and determine the volume number of each disk on your template with "list volume"
now create a text file (diskpart.txt) with the diskpart commands to set these volumes with the appropriate drive letters
select volume 1
assign letter=d
select volume 2
assign letter=p
Now put this command in your C:\post_sysprep\post_sysprep.bat file
diskpart -s "C:\post_sysprep\diskpart.txt"
Now this command will run each time you clone a new template and save you the trouble of doing it manually.
You will probably require a reboot since your page file is on one of the disks but sysprep reboots anyway.
If it was useful, give me credit
