Disklavier

I think I'm running into the issue of how to exactly copy these 
disks.  For example, I have both 720 formatted diskettes and the 
pianosoft titles that I "downloaded" from their store (2HD).  Even 
the one I copied is having problems.  I used the DKVCOPY utlity to 
copy a downloaded 2HD diskette onto another 2HD diskette.  However, 
most of the files are corrupt and/or won't play, etc. Probably wasn't 
designed for this!   What is the process to take Pianosoft diskettes 
and copy it correctly so it can be read by the MID2PianoCD?  
Obviously the program can't read them directly because an original 
diskette does not work (can't be viewed).   Frustrating, but I 
recognize that these technologies are old and based upon the various 
disklaviers over the years.  Thanks for any help.
