to bad i don't know how blender really works. I had the same problem whith my custom model from 3DS Max. what i did :

1. openen the texture (.dds) file in photoshop whith the .dds plugin.
2. (you could modifie it) save it as a .jpg file
3. drag the .jpg file in 3DS Max as a material.
4. Add the material to the model
5. export whith COLLADE dae
6. DONE !

i also kopied all the other files, such as .mat .dds etc in a new map. and renamed the files to my .dae name. this worked worked whith me
