Welcome to the forum,

This is the Droid 1 all things root forum. You will probably get a better response posting in the below forum or asking a mod/guide to move your post.

There are three aspects to root. One being unlocked nand or s-off. The other being a custom recovery and a rooted rom.

Do you in fact have s-off? Please check by booting phone into hboot (volume down + power)

Do you have a custom recovery, clockwork mod is likely. Navigate to recovery from hboot and see if it goes to clockwork mod.

Finally do you have the super user app? Download terminal emulator from market and type su in it and hit enter, does it change from $ to #?

Do these things and report back and we can help ya out
