Assuming the other end is regular USB...this:

look closely, its not USB mini-B because it has a small pin inside. that small pin powers the hard-disk. It is not usb mini-b
Thank you for answer

In USB mini-B, pins 1 (Vbus) & 5 (Ground) carry the power.

The connector in the first photo by the OP appears to show some damage.

That pin on your usb cable is a pin from your external HDD, it's wedged into the usb lead and snapped off the HDD connector. (Usb cables and connectors are universal industry standard parts)

If you open up the external case ( may take a bit of effort as sometimes they glue the two halves together) you can check on the connector type of the HDD ( may be sata or mini sata or mini ide) you can then buy a new external HDD enclosure to fit your drive. They aren't expensive and are easy to fit.

THank you so much, it didn't come in my mind to get new case... Thank you for saving my data..! LIVE LONG <3
