home-directory

i tried everything since days, now i ask.

i got a ubuntu system on my old hdd, wich is connectet via usb to this system and a sdd is build in my notebook. at the moment i am running a ubuntusystem from an usb stick.

it have tried to clone my disk(cahnge uiid, etc), to transport the data via deja dup and much more. the result was nothing or strange things.

my idea is to copy the important data form the old system to the new(home and whatever), but it is not allowed to do this.

somebody her who know a tool wich can do this, or got an an other idea.
