Seems that both galleries are already up and running? If so, you'll have to know your way around in MySQL to manipulate the database accordingly. That may be an easy task but may be tricky, depending on the complexity of both galleries.

You need at least the pictures table. Depending on how much albums you have, you can think of creating them new in your 'main' gallery, or import the albums table. The same applies for the category table. If you have comments, you'll have to import the category table, too. If you have detailed vote and hit stats, .... . You have to learn how the Coppermine database works. And you always have to verify that all IDs are unique. So when you import tables, you have to check if the IDs are not already taken. If so, you'll have to assign new IDs and adjust all relating IDs in other tables.

I'll promise you it won't work.

I just recognized that your old gallery is cpg1.4.27 and your new gallery don't has the version information. I alert you to blindly import anything!
