Emacs on windows (not cygwin version) will open unix files in unix mode and dos files in dos mode.  If it is a new file I think it defaults to dos mode.  If you want to force a particular mode for your next command, use: C-x c emacs-mule-unix or emacs-mule-dos or emacs-mule-mac Then open the file.  A '\' in the status bar is dos mode, and (Unix) is unix mode of course.
