     The program you have with no name is at fault. Here is how to do 
it. For clarity let me say the place you want to put the old Home 
directory (/home/karl) in the /dev/sba2 partition at the /home/karl 
directory in the /dev/sba6 partition.

     First boot into the /dev/sba6 partition. When there open a terminal 
window. In this write this:

     $ sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sba2 /mnt

     This puts /dev/sba2 in the /mnt directory. Please cd /mnt and make 
sure it is there and find the /home/karl/ directory. Your now ready to 
use copy (cp -a) to copy all the files to /dev/sba6/ /home directory.

      The old /home/karl is now at /mnt/home/karl/ which we just did 
with the mount command. Now to transfer every byte from the old 
/home/karl to the new /home/karl do this in a terminal:

$ cd /mnt/home/

$ sudo cp -a /karl/ /home/

      It will take several minutes but when done you have a perfect copy.
