Recently purchased XP Home education.
CD/RW 16X12X40X Drive worked fine with windows 98 SE.
After XP Home installation I hear skips and schudder
sounds on any CD.

Please help

look to see if your cd is using DMA or PIO. In device manager expand the ide port if your cd is on ide 1 or ide2
then go into advanced setting tab be sure it is using DMA instead of PIO, your cd will not play sound correctly otherwise.
