I have set up two Arduino Uno's as seen in Using an Arduino as an AVR ISP (In-System Programmer):

targeting Uno

However, when I try to burn a bootloader I get an error. Do you think I have the wires wrong? The connections in the pic are for a different board but I copied it anyway as they didn't have the exact model I am using.

What's the error you get? – boardbite Sep 19 '12 at 14:09
error while burning bootloader avrdude:stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x00. I noticed I may need a 10UF capacitor for the reset so Im just getting one know. Because its a different board do you think I need to change the cables at the mo Im using 10,11,12,13 – Mr Men Sep 19 '12 at 14:37
Why do you need a 10uF capacitor? You only need a 0.1 uF capacitor in series which you need to prevent Reset from being held low. You also need a 10K resistor on the reset pin. Both of your Uno boards should already come with the capacitor and 10K resistor. – boardbite Sep 19 '12 at 14:43
The microcontrollers are pin-compatible; you don't need to change the role of the 10,11,12,13 pins (they are correct). Did you select the right board ("Arduino NG... Atmega8") from the menu when burning the bootloader? – boardbite Sep 19 '12 at 14:44
Yes I selected the right board maybe it is because of the 10uf capacitor for the reset. Im getting the part so hopefully thats all it was. – Mr Men Sep 19 '12 at 15:35
