Transfer from USB stick to hard drive

Hi. I have installed Isadora on 8gb USB drive. I’m a newbie and getting to like this OS.a lot. Problem is I will soon be running out of space and lack speed. I would like to transfer all my data and downloads to my hard drive permanently. Can I make my memory stick installable? Appreciate any help. Paul.

so, you have a persistent usb frugal install and you want to install it to hard drive just as it is now?
mmm

have you tried installing it to hard drive while running persistent?

Or
you have a hard drive install to usb and want to transfer that install to a hdd partition?

HI. Thanks, yes it's a hard drive install to usb flash drive and I can't find install now file to transfer complete system to HDD. Is it possible to create a full ISO image and install from that?

best choice is Remastersys
just use the full backup option, not dist-backup
just add this to /etc/apt/sources.list

# Remastersys
deb http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/repository karmic/

then do apt-get update && apt-get install remastersys
reboot and then run it
if it messes up as sometimes it does when making the iso,message back
