BSOD when trying to install XP on laptop(s)

[Flash]

I got my Vostro 1014, but when I try to install Win XP I get 0x0000007B BSOD (after setup finishes loading all the files, and says setup is starting windows).
Specs:
Celeron 900m
HD4500
1Gb

I tried my the XP CD on my desktops (I have 2) and it works fine.

I tried the XP CD on another laptop (acer), and that too gives the same BSOD "STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
Specs:
AMD P340
ATI 4250
4Gb

The errors are indentical on both laptops.
Why? And why is the CD working fine on my desktops?

Quick update:

I managed to get it not give me BSOD anymore once I switched the HDD from AHCI to ATA.

BUT

My Win XP CD is modified with nlite to contain the SATA drives. My desktop is set to AHCI and it works. Why not on my laptop?

The bios may not support it.

I have switched the HDD from AHCI to ATA from BIOS tho. I mean heck, this vostro's bios even has mouse support. My desktop bios doesn't have mouse support (have the blue BSOD type of BIOS on my desktop) yet it supports AHCI?. This vostro's bios looks almost like Win 3.11, GUI and all.

Well honestly AHCI is better with SSD's. Not sure why you would run it on an older system.

Yea, I will just keep it on ATA. I mean with 4500HD, 1GB and Celeron 900M I don't think it would made any difference in performance. And I'm fine with the slower write speeds.

If I recall, Windows XP does not support AHCI out of the box (like Vista and 7 do).
