Subject: Stuck with 3.5's when I only have 5.25

I have an original copy of a software in 3.5 inch diskettes,
however, on my system I don't have a 3.5 inch disk drive
to read them, instead I have a high density 5.25 inch disk drive.
I tried just copying the files from 3.5 diskettes to
5.25 diskettes from school using the the DOS's COPY command
but that didn't work. When I run the install program of
the software from the 5.25 on my system at home, install would
not recognize the disk as the source diskette. A friend of my
told me to name the labels of the 5.25s as same as that of
3.5s, but that also didn't work.
 
Do anyone out there know anyway to go about in installing that
software in my system's harddrive? As of now, I am stuck not
knowing what to do.  :.(
 
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
