   first it's HLL-styled stack abusing bloatware. And I cannot boot my OS   
   on it nor use my own tools. it needs on INT13 to start.   
   So what is the UEFI equivalent to INT13 and how can I make it boot my   
   old stuff from either CD or USB ?

   No! I like to see what tools are required to format and prepare a new PC   
   for my needs.
