Burning program on atmega328p-pu without bootloader

Using Arduino Microcontrollers

I need to burn a sketch I wrote to an atmega328p-pu due to space constraints imposed by the bootloader. Can any one help me?
Arduino version 1.5.6
Windows 8.1

The IDE directly supports uploading a sketch using a programmer rather then the normal USB serial uploading via a bootloader equipped chip. In the tools menu under programmer you will find the various ICSP programmer that the IDE supports, which can include an arduino board running the arduinoISP sketch.

I saw that and tried using the arduino ISP sketch on one arduino uno and programming an atmega328p-pu but as you said it requires that the chip being programmed has the bootloader. I need the extra programming space that the bootloader is using and tried finding a resource telling me how to do it but wasn't able to find one. Everything I was finding was about how to put the bootloader on it. I know how to do that, but my sketch is only leaving me with 20 bytes left. Obviously that isn't enough to run the program.

Need an AVR ISP.
I use Atmel AVR ISP MKii for all my chips.

Others struggle to get Arduino as ISP to work. From the posts here I'd fewer have success than succeed. Your call.

When you run out of room, I offer a 1284P duemilanova style board with FTDI interface, 128K Flash, 16K SRAM, 32 IO, dual serial ports.

I have seen the same results looking though the forums as well. Taking a shot in the dark.... can this be done with an ftdi ? Or is that something different?

Different. FTDI provides USB/Serial interface, working with the bootloader to update memory. AVR ISP accesses memory directly thru the SPI pins, to either install a bootloader, or to install a sketch and not have a bootloader.

due to space constraints imposed by the bootloader.

Really? If 512 bytes out of 32k (1.6%) will really make a difference, it's probably just as easy to look for space savings in your sketch...
