    To create a custom SRD, you need to open the GUI and go to Tasks/Create Custom Recovery Disk. Manually adding the drivers into the DDB folder is not going to work.

    Having said that, you should test the driver(s) first (by booting off the SRD and using the load a driver option). There is no point in building the custom SRD until you know which driver is going to work.
