can't upload to DUEMILANOVE

I just received a DUEMILANOVE and can't upload anything. I'm Using Arduino 15 software. I receive this error message:

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x20
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x20

i've used a diecemila and it works just fine with identical hardware/software setup. i've also checked the bootloader on the DUEMILANOVE and everything seems fine. Why the hell won't this work?

perhaps the verbose console error message will help. i've been researching bootloaders and avrdude all day but I am NOT a programmer and cannot make much sense out of this:

avrdude done. Thank you.

I got mine a couple of weeks ago and was getting the same message. Figured it out though.

My problem was picking the wrong board in the Arduino software. I had picked (or left as the default) the
"Arduino Diecimila or Duemilanove w/ ATmega168"Changing it to
"Arduino Duemilanove w ATmega328"
fixed my problem. Click to set it.

Since you specifically mention changing from the Dieimila to a new Duemilanove and using the same software setup, I strongly suspect this will fix it.

Good luck!
