Bootloader problem

i am using arduino nano clone, it came without bootloader program so I tried to burn bootloader to my arduino clone with help of my old uno, but I cannot do this continuously I get the following error.
avrdude: Expected signature for ATmega328P is 1E 95 0F
Double check chip, or use -F to override this check.
Failed chip erase: uploading error: exit status 1
i made the hardware connection like following.
programmer board and Target board
pin 10 -------- RESET pin
pin 11 -------- pin 11
pin 12 -------- pin 12
pin 13 -------- pin 13
pin 5v -------- 5v pin
pin Gnd -------- Gnd pin

And this is the link I used for my reference and also I made and try the connection and burning the bootloader as per the link. I tried both way using digital pins and using ICSP pins. Both methods are not solve my problem.

Burn the bootloader on UNO, Mega, and classic Nano using another Arduino – Arduino Help Center

usually boards comes with bootloader and blink sketch uploaded.
not usual to sell damaged boards.

It can happen due to couple of reasons. You can see here:

Ok...i understand but the clone boards are comes without bootloaders.that is why still iam trying to burn the bootloader ..

how do you know it is not damaged or counterfeit ?

Yes i am not able to know it is good one or not.i think the money spend to this clones are waste..

I am using atmega328p .so i think the suggestions provided by you is not suitable for my case.am i correct

if you connect ISP programer and it not able to read even chip ID number then chip is damaged. to be sure take third (normal working) board and try to flash BL over ISP. if this succeed then you made no connection error and clone board is dead.

Sure, i understand i will check with my third working board then i will update you..thanks for your support.
