Sorry, I don't know.  I only can save you from wasting time on things
that certainly won't work.  Rene's the guy for this one.

Okay, I can suggest a couple of things:

1. Do you have BOOST_ROOT  defined in your environment? (you shouldn't).

2. Does it work if you do:

     bjam -sBOOST_ROOT=. "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1"  install

   ??

3. Does the following show any files?  I don't need to know what they
   are, just yes/no.

     cd boost
     DIR compatibility\cpp_c_headers\c*
     DIR *.hpp *.ipp *.h *.inc
   
   if you don't see any files, there's something wrong with your Boost
   distribution; you need to download an unzip a fresh one.

I can't think of anything else that could cause this.

HTH,
