Seems as though running with the -no-acpi command will not boot XP. once I remove it XP boots fine.

It's probably because you have ACPI HAL in windows, it required the acpi to be set in qemu.
It also kills performance on kvm versions < 58.

You can approve this by running the problematic setup with -no-kvm flag.

There are instructions for switching to standard HAL on the wiki. Dor
