That's [[:File:Nand-extract-error2.png|where flowrebuilder fails]], because it doesn't know all the different ways of doing it (if it [[:File:Nand-extract-noerror.png|doesn't fail]] it means it had bad blocks in a way that Flowrebuilder understands). | The PS3 has many different ways of doing this depending on the location of bad blocks.
