BSOD & stop Errorr 0x0000007e

I have this Laptop (Dell Studio 1558) that a customer brought to me that needed a new hard drive and he also wanted me to partition the hard drive into two partitions and put windows xp on one and windows 7 on the other (partition).
   I first attempted to install windows xp, but after windows would load the drivers and then attempt to start I got the BSOD with a stop error "0x0000007e" and the next line was "ACPI.sys_address FB9D66 base at F7AE000" .  I then attempted to install windows 7 and the installation went perfectly.  
   I would like some help what I need to do to solve this problem.

Thank you for helping me with this problem. I went into the BIOS and there was two options for the sata drive: AHCI and SATA Drive.  There was no option for compatibility mode.  I went to Dell's website and found out that Dell does not provide any windows xp drivers at all for this particular Laptop.  So I guess I won't be putting windows xp and windows 7 on after all, just win 7.  I did successfully create an ISO file and burned it to the cd and I want to experiment with Nlite some more.
