Your way if all file in single coding. For my Ukraine I have much text
with cp866, cp1251, koi8-r, uft-16-le, utf-8.

I found the method explain coding system already opened file to emacs by
typing C-x <enter> C, type character set of file
(by <TAB> you can learn what are exist) and C-x revert-buffer.

After emacs understand coding of file you may save file in other coding 
system typing C-x <ret> f. This useful tip then need windows CR/LF
convert to UNIX LF.
