wait so your HDD wont work or internet ? either way it could just be a driver issue and needs pointed to the correct driver or you need to download the correct driver , also if its a HDD issue they normally pop up automatically

its kinda lik what Siga meh Nigga said, it also may be the pins on the plug you are using. Is it possible for you to take a pic? Cause how you explained is a bit confusing

if your using a usb thingy lol , check the site for driver update or issues most companies have a forum area for topics of hardware issues i have a built in card so ive never used a usb thing but with the cards you would almost always need the drivers for it to be picked up

Personally, I would never buy a used or refurbished hard drive. You should buy them new. Just sayin
