I would back up or rename your CFIDE directory before any install if you are using a shared Apache Web server instead of the built-in Web server (the port 8500 one). Other than this CFIDE folder, CF8 would naturally go into its own folder when installing. The default folder name is "ColdFusion8." The service names are also different so as not to conflict. Plenty of people have both running at the same time.
