(the following is conjecture as I always install unix mode) I think this is handled by mount. ie you have things mounted in text mode not binmode if you remount your mounts as binmode you should be ok. (best to do a "mount > mounts-backup.txt" to have a record of what they were before fiddling with the mount tables though) man mount and man umount should give all the info you need.
