Older sysprep file is overriding newer sysprep file

I have a Windows XP 2005 image of a Dell GX260. I want to update this
image, so I load the image on a GX260, update it with newer programs,
Windows Updates, etc and run setupmgr.exe and create a sysprep.inf
file. I reseal the machine with Mini Setup and it does not remember any
of my settings I just created in the inf file. The inf file was in
c:\sysprep along with setupcl.exe and sysprep.exe. I wanted the updated
sysprep file to join a workgroup and have a prefilled admin password
and I included our volume license in the setupmgr.exe, but when the
computer rebooted and went into MiniSetup mode, it prompted me for the
serial number, did not have an admin password, and tried to join a
domain (which the old image had as its sysprep.inf configuration). How
do I clear out the old settings without starting from a clean install?

My first impression is that when you did the copy and paste from the PDF into the INF file, you had one or more line breaks, in the wrong place, since when pasting into Notepad, it appears there, exactly as it does in the PDF file. ...
