No, XP has never supported UEFI, in fact Windows 8 M3 was the first Windows OS that supported UEFI. Switch to “legacy support” in the BIOS if available. Still, anything newer than 2008 may have problems running XP (drivers mostly).
Also, is there such a thing as UEFI boot for Windows XP?
I understand that when Windows XP was out there was no such thing as a UEFI boot. I have added the needed SATA drivers in order for it to find the SSD inside it. Problem being is that it just wont boot into the windows xp setup at all naturally because its UEFI only.
Having EFI is a property of the motherboard, not the operating system. I am pretty sure you can boot 32-bit versions of Windows XP on a system with EFI. It is possible to boot from MBR drives on systems with EFI. Hard drives with a GPT partition table also have a legacy MBR.
How to install Windows XP x64 on UEFI?
You can install Win. XP x64 in CSM mode then copy several files from Vista (Beta) Longhorn and switch to UEFI. There may be a problem with the graphic driver.
