jengil:
I have reinstalled the Arduino IDE, and The IDE starts and still has the same errors when uploading as with Atmel Studio... Any Ideas? I know there has to be a simple way to do this as I know people have done it before.
I've done this many times:
-Upload the ISP sketch to your Arduino.
-Then prepare your bare Atmega328P as shown in reply 1 tutorial.
-Check the connections twice.
-I just choose Arduino UNO as the board
-then I select programmer: Arduino as ISP
-Then select the option "burn bootloader" and viola.
Please paste here the error that Arduino IDE shows.
