You shouldn't have installed coppermine into a new folder, but just upgraded your existing install (that's what the documentation says).
You can copy the contents of the albums folder of the old install to the new one, but then you'll have to re-add all pics to your database; all comments, ratings descriptions etc. of your old gallery will be lost. If you know your way around, you could export part of your old database and get the dump back into the new gallery using a tool like phpMyAdmin as well.
That being said, I still suggest you update your old gallery and drop the new install.
