bjam has no access to Visual Studio IDE settings. You have to customize 
environment variables or C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 
8\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat batch file instead.

are these paths correct on your system? Why do you use slash/ instead of 
backslash\ ?

find your toolset name "vc-8_0" and at the bottom of the page you will 
find full instruction of using Platform SDK with boost
