The disk copy and convert programs only run in DOS.  Not a Window in DOS, 
but real DOS. Reboot your computer using the DOS prompt. The diskettes you 
need should be IBM formatted.  Then, your computer will see the files.  The 
PianoSoft files will have the extension .fil.  Then convert them to MIDI 
files.  If you use the same disk, the .fil files will be overwritten by the 
.mid files.
Just to give you a heads-up! :)
