If you're running Windows XP Pro, I would strongly recommend that you not bother hooking CF up to IIS, especially if you're trying to run multiple versions of CF. IIS 5.1, the version of IIS that is included with XP, only allows one virtual web server. And, it's not the same version of IIS that you'd have on a server anyway - if your goal is to emulate your production environment, this doesn't get you very far. If you must use an external web server with multiple versions of CF on Windows XP, use Apache instead. Again, though, you really don't need this unless there's some specific web server functionality you need on your development laptop. So, again, I'd strongly recommend that you just use the internal web server for CF8. If you must have it listen on TCP/80, you can do that as long as you don't run IIS at the same time. All that said, how exactly is your previous CF install set up? Is it multiserver? If you want to run multiserver, you'll probably want to uninstall CF7 and JRun, install CF8 with the multiserver option, then install CF7 as an EAR file onto a new JRun instance. The version of JRun that comes with CF8 is newer (obviously) than CF7. There is no simple upgrade path for multiserver. However, I think it's generally the best way to run multiple versions of CFMX 7+ on a single machine. Otherwise, try turning CF7 off while you run the web server configuration tool. You don't want it to connect to CF7, just CF8. Presumably, everything's in separate directories if you didn't do the multiserver install.
