Hi Group,
I am a litle bit in panic right now,
Had to reinstall my Windows8 after a crash.
Installed all the software inculding the Arduino IDE version 1.5.8.
But strangly all my UNO's wont install there comm port.
My Mega and the old Duemilanove do respond corretly and can be programmed.
I have uno connected with a FTDI cable, thiose wont respond either.
Anny suggestions
FTDI Bricked their clones again, Do a loopback test and see if there is any text returned. There are a few guides to unbrick the new method (Use an older driver, but update the date and version strings)

So the origional FDTI cables have 'clone chips' in their own product and the original Arduino's have them to?
There's data coming from the boards but programming wont work.
This is the output during programming:

avrdude done. Thank you.
FTDI Bricked their clones again
Which of course should have no effect on an "Uno" at all, since it doesn't use an FTDI chip.
What brand of "Uno" do you have, do you know? (Can you post a picture?)
Arduino IDE version 1.5.8.
Why that version? Did you successfully install the "drivers" as well?
There all original Italian UNO's and the one i build myself using the Atmel 328P component with Optiboot installed. They all worked before the reinstall.
After some hesitation i reprogrammed the self build UNO using the IDE and the Due placing a new bootloader inside the chip and voilà it worked again.
This one could be programmed again so i did the same with one UNO and that one worked again also.
I have no explanation on how this could be be-course one of the UNO's i havent used for some years.
For now the problem is solved.
The answer to the used version, at first i installed the latest one, but as in the old situation all worked with the 1.5.8. version i wnet back to the state i knew it worked.
