Rails - Jun 2006 - Errno::ENOENT (No such file or directory

Hi,
I have my RoR deployed on Linux server. My application has "browse
file"
section where it selects the file from users machine (e.g. - 
D:/kw/loaddata/New/abc.txt) and passes it to convertTo method

But the path is not being resolved. It throws me an error:
Errno::ENOENT (No such file or directory - D:/kw/loaddata/New/abc.txt):
    .//app/controllers/releases_controller.rb:35:in `initialize''
    .//app/controllers/releases_controller.rb:35:in `convertTo''
   
/scratch/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.1/lib/action_controller/base.rb:910:in
`perform_action_without_filters''
   
/scratch/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.1/lib/action_controller/session_management.rb:117:in
`process''
.....


any input on how do I reolve this? I''m chaging the windows to fwd slash
in my method. I guess I can access file on windows from linux box.

def convertTo
    inputfilename = params[:inputfilename].gsub("\\","/")
end

Perhaps it''s choking on the leading "D:".

Does this simple test work, using irb? 
File.exists?("D:/kw/loaddata/New/abc.txt")
