Hi,

a) you are not able to give us the code that you 
use ?
b) a file form a unix file system will under 
Windows have
   backslashes  and you don't need this
c) Windows understand path names with a slash, 
i.e.,
   c:/Windows/System32 will work and mixture of 
back and forward
   slashes c:\Windows/System32 will work as well

so it is total useless what you are doing and 
finaly why not use
StringReplace[string, "\\"->"/"]
??
Regards
  Jens
