Default Can't install System Update on Rooted Phone

I have a rooted Motorola Droid. Verizon just recently started to send me a System Update. When I choose to do the system update the phone reboots and a menu comes up and says that the system updated has been aborted and it has menu to reboot the phone, and other menu options. I guess because the phone is rooted I can't do the system update, but the message is constantly coming up saying I need to do the System Update.

Does anybody know what the update does? Maybe I can just undo the rooting and allow the update to install and then root it again? I don't think I installed a custom rom, I think I just rooted the phone and that's it. It's been so long since I did it I can't remember exactly what I did. Is there a way I can tell if it has a custom rom or not? I'm enclosing a picture I took of the screen that comes up after I try to install the update, maybe that will help with the info on if the phone is just rooted or has a custom rom installed. It's says, "Android system recovery <2e>", "Patched by SirPsychoS <0.99.3b>".

What can I do? Thanks for your help and time!

You might want to check out the thread below. This will show you how to stop receiving the OTA since you probably did something that prevents it from installing. A custom rom or kernel will break the ability to do an OTA update. At least you can prevent the continual downloading and failing to install.
