I am running currently gallery in the single site, but I would like to make it running multisite and not loose any of the information, I can just make the current gallery one of the sites on multisite gallery.

How can I do that?

first, make sure you understood the multisite feature correctly.
it's not for sharing albums with different installations.
see:

I have understood the multisite feature.
I want to make sites for my friends pictures on my server, on different domains, where I have currently installed my gallery.
I would like to have exactly multisite. One server, one main installation, and multiple, sites with separated DB, file storage, users, everything separately.

Thanks for the fast reply.

if you just want to add now more sites as multisites, you can keep your existing installation as it is right now. it's the http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/Gallery2:Multisite#G2_Hosting_for_Friends scenario. the codebase can be a normal g2 install while you use it as the installation tool for all other multisites too.

if you want to move your codebase away, but keep your existing installation as multisite where it is, you'll need to do a few steps.
