Arduino ISP ATtiny problems As I was trying to program my ATtiny chip with my arduino, I ran across some problems. Note that I know that this problem is faced almost in every Q and A site and forum so don't flag me as repeat yet. (I was trying to burn the bootloader so my chip runs at 8MHz)

So this is the error code:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr/bin/avrdude -CC:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr/etc/avrdude.conf -v -v -v -v -pattiny85 -cstk500v1 -PCOM1 -b19200 -e -Uefuse:w:0xff:m -Uhfuse:w:0xdf:m -Ulfuse:w:0xe2:m

avrdude done.  Thank you.

Error while burning bootloader.

Although a solution to this problem will be very nice, that is not my intention here. I tried almost all solutions I have found and non of them work, and I want to know why. So these are my questions:


What does this code actually mean? The for example the "programmer", is it referring to the Arduino or the ATtiny(or the highly unlikely, laptop that im using.)
How do I access more error codes, if there are any, as I think that these codes really do not tell that much.
[Solved]To prevent Arduino from auto-resetting, almost all tutorials connect the Reset pin to the Ground pin with a 10uF capacitor, and I don't have one. I tried with various other capacitors that I have(22uF, 0.4uF, 0.22uF, 47uF, and 330uF). I do not know how does the capacitance affect the anti auto-resetting function, so some explanation here is helpful.
[solved]


EDIT: I disconnected the ATtiny and the same error code persists. This, I conclude as either I never had a proper connection with the ATtiny, or the problem is with the communication of my laptop with the Arduino.
I did not download Arduino as ISP into my arduino. I realize how much of an idiot I am. The capacitor wasn't even needed for some reasons. I might make an intensive tutorial on this project.
