I am having trouble burning a bootloader

i have tried the following
with the IDE toos select UNO, then burn bootloader

the ide says Burning bootloader to i/o board (this may take a minute)
stays there seems like forever and have waited several minutes and appears nothing happens

try # 2

use AVR Studio 6.0

i am able to program the UNO using ATmegaBOOT_168_atmega328.hex
i set fuses to
extended FD
High D6
Low FF

which are the same as the orginal UNO

and set lockbit to CF which is also the same as orginal UNO

results

when i try to upload sketh i get the not in sync error wih board selected UNO
if i change board to duemilanova then i can upload sketch 1 time but can not upload again

any ideas what i can do

as a side note the bootloader shipped with arduino is not the same as preloaded on UNO

What you are SUPPOSED to do:

Connect your AVRips MKii equivalent to the PC.
Put your blank ATmega328P chip in the Arduino UNO.
Connect the six-pin cable from the AVRisp to the six-pin header on the right end of the Arduino UNO, making sure Pin 1 is aligned.
Select Tools->Programmers->AVRisp MKII
Select Tools->Boards->Arduino UNO
Select Tols->Burn Bootloader

Does it work when you do that? If not, what error do you get?

Actually waited 30 minutes

Update: i copied the bootloader from a known good Uno R3 chip and used the AVR Studio to Burn to a new Uno R3 chip and this worked

so copy of chip works bootloader from arduino ide does not. also to point out the bootloaders shipped with arduino ide are 3 years old

any chance of getting newest shipped with IDE just in case we blow the chip on our Uno R3

Update2: i just noticed that the bootloader shipped with uno's is the Optiboot bootloader, i will try to burn using that now

Blow the chip? What have you got in mind exactly?

If you do blow the chip, be sure those sharp pointy pins don't cut your lips. :wink:

was basically thinking if it got screwed up somehow, bricked, wrong fuses set, put in the wrong place and pins get shashed or broken off, sometime people do things in the filed they are note supposed to do.

once my initial testing is done i will be booting a modifued TFTP bootloaded that has the watchdog timer stuff in it so I can send a softwere reset over the network to reset and wait the required time for a TFTP upload to beign so i can remotely update my code (hope it works) then i wont care about the orginal bootloader

i am able to program the UNO using ATmegaBOOT_168_atmega328.hex

That is not the UNO bootloader, and it won't work with the UNO fuse settings...
You want the optiboot .hex files.
