Follow this guide to get bad block mover installed properly. If your getting the Missing Comdlg.ocx error. Then use it. Its the easiest way.

http://windowsxp.mvps.org/comdlg32.htm

open nand.bin in bad block mover
run it
copy bad blocks
open xbr.bin
paste bad blocks
run it
done.

you could use that
but if you have a big block jasper you need to do it manually

its really quite simple.

lets say bad block is at 12a.

forget about your original nand for bad blocks, you only need to deal with xbr. your original nand is already remapped.

so, 12a is bad on your nand, if you write xbr as is, it will not write to 12a. so read the block from xbr.bin at 12a:
nandpro lpt/usb: -r16/64 12a.bin 12a 1

then write that bin to a new block on your nand.. it can be anywhere where there is an empty block but thats not proper. the proper thing to do is write it to the end of the nand.
so.. for 16mb console:
nandpro xbr.bin: -w16 12a.bin 3ff

for big block jasper (because xbr is only 64mb) you need to write the block to the end of the nand directly. if you write it to the xbr bin itself, it WILL expand the bin because xbr is only 64mb, and your writing to a block that is either at 256+ or 512+mb of the nand.
so fir 512mb nand:
nandpro lpt/usb: -w512 7fff

for 256mb nand:
nandpro lpt/usb: -w256 3fff

repeat for any bad blocks you have

I tried using bad block mover. You keep saying "run it". Well there is no button called "run it". I'm assuming what you're referring to is this

1.  Open bad block mover
2.  Click "Analyze MS Image" and select your original nand dump
3.  copy the information in the top left window, here's what mine looks like:


Now if I copy the information in the top left window and then click "Analyze MS Image" again (I assume that's what you mean by "open xbr.bin") it first says "No bad blocks were located in the spare area" which I expected, but when I then click on "reposition bad blocks" which again I'm taking from your step called "run it", I get a message that says "This seems to not be the Zero Pair Nand Image"

Nevermind, I just used nandpro and did it all manually. Freeboot works great now.
