Boost and bjam are both located in "D:\boost_1_38_0"...
Ok, I read the error and made some erroneous assumptions.
You're going to need to dig a bit deeper. I'm betting, and I'd bet a decent pot, that bjam is attempting to run a program using a path that contains "C:\Documents and Settings" but lacking the quotes. I assumed that you extracted boost on your desktop or something.
I found the problem. I had no path containing "C:\Documents and Settings", but my env var TMP contained this: "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temp", and bjam creates some bat in this dir, and tries to run it, fails because of the spaces in the path. Setting TMP to a path without space fixes the problem.
