Try using this Python script to convert your playlists. I don't have a 
Windows partition but it works for me on a couple of test files. Be sure 
to keep backup copies of the playlists. The usage is

    python win2unix.py /path/to/infile /mnt/windows/c

where /mnt/windows/ c is the mount point of the Windows partition

import sys, string


def win2unix(m3ufile, mountpoint):
    winroot = "C:"
    winsep = "\\"
    unixsep = "/"
    curr = "init"
    
    infile = open(m3ufile, "r")
    tmpfile = infile.read()
    infile.close()
    
    tmpfile = string.replace(tmpfile, winroot, mountpoint)
    tmpfile = string.replace(tmpfile, winsep, unixsep)
    
    outfile = open(m3ufile, "w")
    outfile.write(tmpfile)
    outfile.close()
