When you say "cannot be adjusted in volume control" what have you tried?

To avoid the long delay on E-mail turnaround here, I'm just going to assume
you don't know to find the microphone volume adjustment.  The process is:

1. Open the volume control applet.
2. Click Options, Properties.
3. Click on the bullet for Recording, and click OK.

You now have a slider for the microphone volume.

As for the chkdsk problem, schedule the chkdsk to run at boot as before but
reboot into safe mode.
