I went back to the Gparted option that I always use to solve all these issues, it is an extraordinary tool.!
All I did was to unmount the partition were MX was installed on the USB, copy it and go to the system and paste it... just 10 mts!

Nice!
I actually didn't know about gparted's ability to copy-paste whole partitions, that's cool.

It's great, especially for one who is not an expert in these matters, and yes, It could do many other things, but we have to be very careful not to make a mistake because it is a very powerful tool.
Now I'm trying to see how could copy just the 'Home' and to take it later to an USB but I can't find the solution for the moment, well maybe it ... another thread ...
thanks,
Greetings

Example:
Disk1
[---|-----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------]
Disk2
[-------------------------]
Disk1 + 2 (with a mount point for Disk2 into the partition3 of Disk1, ex: /home/pt1)
