I have never tried UEFI on xp. I think windows 7 is what is needed or newer. I might be wrong if so someone please correct me.

If you want to run UEFI you need a new board that board doesn't have UEFI. Sa far as I know none of the EX58 board support UEFI

All they are saying is that Utility will unlock the board to run 3 tb hard drives with Windows XP . It will not make your board UEFI.
