    NO,No,and No.
    tried the slipstream of win xp/sp3/f6 on DVD not recognized
    tried it with win xp/sp3 not recognized.
    tried it with win xp and the floppy booted it up to BSOD. Many times.

    Than went into BIOS and found that its checked off for UEFI boot Sources.
    F5 disabled and chose Legacy Boot instead.
    After going through the same process, none booted at all.
    went back into BIOS only to find that it had defaulted back to UEFI?
    and also disabled the Legacy Boot.

    reading the following.

    "Note 2: Windows XP (32-bit and 64-bit) and Windows Vista/7 (32-bit versions) do not support UEFI boot mode."

    Does not look good for using UEFI with XP.

    The h8-1110 BIOS is very compact.
    It has mainly default entries.
    Guess that's progress for fast boot time.

    The BIOS does indicate running AHCI.
    But, From what I can see in the BIOS and the performance,
    is that it is set for

    UEFI Boot sources
    USB Floppy/CD
    USB Hard Drive
    ATAPI CD/DVD Drive
    or
    Legacy Boot Sources
    USB Floppy/CD
    Hard Drive
    Sata0
    Sata1
    Atapi CD/DVD Drive

    Therefore, the floppy gets read first( You hear the floppy getting booted)and as no OS
    you get a cursor on a blank screen, as no continuance.
    No way to change to CD/USB Floppy.

    If, I moved the
    Atapi CD/DVD Drive up, and try.
    I think that the DVD or CD would read first,
    but would it recognize the F6 command to interrupt to show Sata0 or Sata1?

    Nice Machine, WIN 7 Premium. But Craps out for Gaming?
    (Like loads aircraft with instrument Panel. No cockpit, no fuselage).
    He has resigned to use the Older Compaq with WinXP for Games only,
    and the h8 for other duties, two computers, one screen/mouse/KB/Printer via KVM set-up.
    But, will persevere, Just maybe, there is a work around.
    As usual, HP says
    Past warranty for return, (30 days) and not OS or Hardware problem.
    What heading is BIOS under?

    '[F6]' is for XP.

    XP won't work with UEFI.
