Hi kevin !!Thak you for writing to the technet forums.Well, i think or presume, that you are using the PXE service point, for that matter. So the first thing you need to do is, import the Driver Package. Here's how you can do that: [content copied from the SCCM2007 team blog] Categorize the drivers needed for deployment “Nice” drivers Drivers that can be installed/imported using an INF file. “Nice” drivers list for deployment: These drivers are needed for OS deployment and are imported into one driver package per hardware type in SCCM for further use in the OS deployment task sequencer. “Bad” drivers Drivers that must be "installed" (setup.exe). This could be a Bluetooth driver, finger print reader software or even DVD software that is specific to a particular model type. Generally, this type of drivers are also called "Hardware based applications". A small example is the 4 in 1 Card reader drivers for Lenovo laptop R61.A software package will be created for deployment and used for further use in the OS deployment task sequencer. Create a Driver Package for your specific hardware model (for nice drivers) In this example we are creating a driver package for a “Lenovo R61” I. Open your “Windows Explorer” II. Go to “\\<Your server>\Drivers\PC\SCCM_Driver_Packages\XP\” III. Create a sub-folder that is representing your hardware model , in this case “R61–8935CTO”. . IV. In the ConfigMgr console, expand ”Site Database” V. Expand Computer Management in the left pane. VI. expand the “Operating system deployment” and Click “Driver Packages VII. Navigate to the sub-folder [PC] VIII. Right click on the “[PC]” folder and select “New” -> “Driver Package” IX. New Driver Package wizard starts: · Give your new driver package a unique name that represents your hardware model & version. · Fill out the commenting window as shown below , but adapt to your HW model. · In the Driver Package Source , you must fill in the UNC path to your earlier created folder on the SCCM primary server. The UNC path in this case will be “\\<your Server>\Drivers\PC\SCCM Driver_Packages\XP\R61-8935CTO”. · Note that this is not the drivers source but the working directory for Configuration Manager when to add drivers to the “Driver Package” ! X. Click Ok XI. Expand the “Operating system deployment” and expand “Driver Packages” .Expand the driver package you just created for OS deployment and select “Distribution Points”. XII. Right click the “Distribution Points” folder. In the right click context menu you will see “New Distribution Point”. The following screen will appear and select “Next” on the Welcome screen. XIII. Select the appropriate Distribution Point(s) where you want your package to be copied and click “Next” , but NEVER select the SMSPXEIMAGE$ distribution point ! XIV. Click “Close” on “completion” page. XV. Your SCCM driver package is now ready to be integrated with imported drivers from the database. for more information, you can check the below links, http://scug.be/blogs/sccm/archive/2009/02/27/sccm-2007-best-practice-importing-drivers-part-1-creating-a-driver-package.aspxhttp://scug.be/blogs/sccm/archive/2009/03/03/sccm-2007-best-practice-importing-drivers-part-2-importing-a-driver-into-the-sccm-database.aspxHope this will help !!

Initial Few Screen shots are confusing. Its not for creating Driver package , in fact it is of creating a search folder.
