| Put diskmgmt.msc in run, shrink the main partition, install your OS to the "empty space" created (or make a new partition first). No need for third party tools, however, I've not come across a situation where a 32 bit program won't run under the 64 bit OS, if it really is an "old"... |

| In a word, No. Depending how and where the diagnosis was arrived at the school may not know even, never mind individual teachers. Once it gets onto a child's school records, the fact will follow them through the system. If your child needs particular help you'll need to seek a "Statement of spe... |

This one every time! If you add staying indoors by yourself, it mitigates the risk of getting harassed at all! |

| If you don't mind filling out long forms/quizzes/tests, you could go on a site like assessment.com (an example, there are many others) that does testing to find out what careers suit people. I found my report from such a site interesting reading, it certainly gave me some ideas when I was looking to... |

| Everyone feels like they *might* fail a real test, in fact there's a genuine chance even a driving instructor might, real life traffic situations arise that could catch out anyone on a test. Thing is, there's no law preventing you trying again if you do, it's not even a big deal. As for the theoreti... |

No, they dislike them with their emotions.
They use their thinning hair for other purposes, usually to feel bad about themselves

"Badly" at least in my own case, though from talking to other people, it seems pretty universal not to handle it well.
I could probably add "Frequently". |

By making errors, and doing your best to correct them and live with the consequences.
It's a pretty futile losing game.. nobody gets out alive anyway. |
