Thanks to all. Yeah the default install directory in 2008 is 
c:\windows\sysWOW64\dns\...

After copying the etc\ files from old server, updating the path in 
named.conf and giving full permissions to named user it now starts 
fine.  Didn't notice the new install dir because right after install 
xcopied the etc/ and subdirs, which af course created the upper level 
dns\ dir as well, and everything seemed fine :)

Anyway I also think it's a good idea to move it to under "program files 
(x86)" or somewhere else, until now just have followed the installer 
defaults in our servers.

btw. any plans for a x64 windows version?
