After buying my Arduino Nano, I can't pass code to him. According to what I read in the comments on the site where I bought it (dx.com), you need to burn the Bootloader. I followed the instructions on here: http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ArduinoISP and recorded the bootloader using my Arduino Uno R3. In the console says that the operation was completed successfully but when I connect via USB to the computer keeps popping drive failure.
Have googled a lot, but nothing worked yet.
Anyone out there been through this? How to solve this?
If you select File:Preferences, and select Verbose outputs, the bootloading process says it completed?
What did you select for a board type when bootloading? You may have re-bootloaded the Uno if you did not successfully control the reset line.
Try with Nick Gammon's bootloader sketch, it just runs on the Uno vs trying to bypass the Uno uC and have the PC talk to the new device thru the Uno's USB/Serial interface.
