Just click Allow. It'll always prompt for root....

When I run Wifitether, it doesnt ask for root permission, a pop up window comes up and says that I do not have root access....the only two options I have is to close the program or to override.

....TO see if your rooted, I believe the simplest thing is

Connect your device to the USB
Open a command terminal (type cmd in Run)

cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb shell

If you see a # sign instead of a $ sign, you are rooted.
If you see a $, try typing 'su'

If it changes to #, you are rooted.

I tried that as well. I do see a # sign when I type that command in command prompt. Its just wifi tether that is saying that I am not rooted.

Then you probably clicked "no" at first and now won't ask again. Reinstall it.
