Upgrade laptop disk - Recover + Clone problem

Thread needs solution

Attempt to upgrade from 100G to 500GB disk, both TrueImage 2010 build 6053 failed with Error code: 9 'A file system error has been found.' with extended code: 458,776 'MFT bitmap is corrupted.' Event code: 0x00640005

Connect the new 500GB with USB to IDE/SATA converter. Attempt to perform recover in Windows from a backup tib file. It aborted with above error. Similar error when attempted from boot CD (attached is the file log). Similar error when clone was attempted. The 500GB had been chkdsk /r, unallocated, and partitioned with and without format....no joy.

In forum thread 10859 http://forum.acronis.com/forum/10859, there is a note "The important point to remember is that you need to put the new drive in the laptop first, and connect the old one via USB." by Jacob Kunz. IS THIS TRUE AND ONLY WAY TO UPGRADE NEW DRIVE ??

In forum thread 3510 http://forum.acronis.com/forum/3510, mtbgearhead had similar problem, he gave up, and use HDClone successfully. I am trying it now.

In short: WHAT IS THE PROBLEM ?
