    That depends on what exactly is the problem. If it's a software problem (like a corrupted file system), you can use the other partition normally and format the other to repair the file system. If it's a hardware problem, you most likely can't use it anymore.

    How do I create password for a partition?

    By password, do you mean you want to encrypt your thumb drive? If you have a PC with Windows 7 or up, you can use BitLocker.

    Why isn't my Windows 7 Dell laptop recognizing a new drive when I plug in a pen drive or any other flash drive?

    If it's an old laptop, it's likely the USB port connections have gotten loose. A symptom of this is that there will be power (charging phones is possible), but without data connection.
