Good move. Also to note *NEVER* defragment the drive under XP. That will kill
the drive. XP dosn't know what a SSD is.

What you can do though is boot to a linux cd/iso and drop to command line and
then run (If they are in the base cd/iso image)
the fstrim command:

ie:

sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
sudo fstrim -v /mnt

Not having to spin a HD, and now only the moving parts are the fans will
extend the battery.
