I have done it on two 60 GB drives that I had replaced with larger SSDs. Just pop it in and format it. I recommend you use a USB3 enclosure because of its faster interface.
Good Luck

Windows XP lacks the TRIM function so long term your going to loose some performance on the SSD. But, since your major limitation will be XP's USB 2.0 interface slower speed. It should not matter.

Also I'm running XP Pro SP3 at the moment. Would I encounter any problems with that at all?
