How to Flash Dagu Mini Driver Boot loader

avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0x0

A lot had been written about the error, but mine was solved loading bootloader. 

I believe flashing boot loader is nothing new. But the process may be abit tricky.
I used Arduino uno to program the Mini driver boot loader. Yes, you may be right. You need another arduino to program the one which you need a new bootloader. Common one is UNO. How to do it ?
1) connect you arduino Uno to PC using USB cable.
2)  Select the correct port to connect. If you do not know, go to Control panel - > device manager -> ports   to look for the port arduino Uno is connected.  If you cannot find, that means Uno is not recognized in your system.

3) select the correct board to connect. In my case Arduino Uno ( not yet mini driver.)

4) In the arduino programmer, load the program called ArduinoISP.  Upload it into arduino Uno.
 
 
5) Next connect your Uno to Dagu Mini driver.

 
 
6) Now in the arduino programmer, change the board to  Arduino  NG or older with ATmega 8.
   You probably need to set programmer as USBasp.
 
7)  Now goto Tools -> burnt boot loader.
8 )  Now you are done. You can now directly detect and upload the mini driver.
