Did you install the drivers like you were supposed to?

Windows 7 x64. I had to rename sbf file to MC1.sbf

Tried everything to get RSD Lite to see the .sbf file.
I had to rename it to MC1.sbf

So....we shouldn't use win7 for this?

Seems to be hit or miss if you do use it. Doesn't break anything. But you just may not be able to do it.

Shouldn't use win7 if it doesn't work for you. It worked fine for me on the very first try, using 64-bit Windows 7 on a Dell laptop.

Thank you for this guide just did it with my droid 1 and i now have the superuser icon, now how do i make sure its working correctly, when i launch it it shows Apps, Log, Settings and no apps in list. Just want to make sure it's working

It won't show anything until you install something that requires root to run.

Try setcpu or drocap to test it out.

Good job, DJ! And yes, read the link Abe mentioned. That, the task killer (which also applies to antivirus programs), and the post-root links are all recommended reading. :wink:
