Ok the hard drive from what you said is new. That means its going to boot, and go no where without an OS. Its booting windows because you have windows installed on the other device, and during boot it doesnt see an OS on the hard drive so it boots windows instead.

Probably not properly formatted. I've some drives just don't work because apple basically says no

You need to initialize the disk in terminal or in another computer.

Try fdisk in terminal. That's the first command in linux for this.
A lot of those are similar.
I'd recommend googling "how to format disk on Mac terminal" though.

You need to completely format it and install your apple os onto it. You will need a new apple os serial key to activate it. Idk how you would get that online but your local apple store might be able to help. You most likely voided your warranty by cracking open your macbook so they may refuse to help you but it is worth a try going to them. Don't let them make you buy anything you don't absolutley need though, they are salesmen after all.
