I developed a program for my Arduino Uno 3 years ago, and not having used it for 2 years I tried it out and discovered a bootloader problem, So I purchased a new Arduino Uno board bt when attempting to upload my old program to the new board I get the messages
Binary sketch size: 5978 bytes (of a 32256 byte maximum)
Binary sketch size: 5978 bytes (of a 32256 byte maximum)
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x18
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x86
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
which I believe are the same messages I received on the old board. I then remembered I had to press the reset button on the old board after uploading. But the new board has no reset button.
Where do I go from here?

If it's an Uno R3 from Arduino it will have.
t is an R3, the old one was an R2.

Well, then it must have a reset button as shown previous.
Maybe it's not a genuine Arduino?
But you shouldn't need to do anything with the reset anyway.... sure you got the right com port?
I shut off the power to the motors and it works. Thanks for all your help.
But what about the reset button: is there one or not?
Yes, I was looking for the reset button in the same location as the R2.
