How to install Windows 8 on HDD in laptop DVD bay?

In the Lenovo B50-70 laptop, the Samsung ST1000LM024 HDD was initially installed, later the Kingston SSD was installed in the regular compartment instead, and the HDD itself was moved to the DVD compartment through the adapter.
Ubuntu 14.10 is installed on the SSD and the HDD is visible and working without problems. But when trying to install Windows 8, it turned out that it doesn’t see the HDD at point-blank range during the installation process, just like it doesn’t want to start later from this HDD in the DVD bay if you install through the standard bay. An attempt to transfer the SSD to the DVD bay, and leave the HDD in the regular one, failed altogether, the SSD is not even detected in the BIOS.
After that, for the test, I took an old 160GB HDD, stuck a DVD into the bay and everything worked fine as it should, it is seen in both systems and Windows 8 installs quietly, but I would still like to use the new HDD.
I assume that SATA2 is divorced in the DVD connector, and the new HDD uses SATA3, but this hard drive works under Ubuntu, which means backward compatibility works at the hardware level.
Is there a way to throw some drivers or something similar into Windows 8 in order to make it see this SATA3 disk through the SATA2 interface and boot from it? Or maybe that's not the problem at all?

Well, firstly, it's worth updating the BIOS to the latest version, maybe this will solve the problem.
If not, then you can temporarily put the screw back, install Windows on it, then put it in the DVD compartment and add Windows to the bootloader in rough on Ubuntu.

You didn't start out right in the first place. Firstly, if it’s all going to turn into a game, then urgently switch to canvas. Secondly, it moves with a delay because keydown is a single event, but after a couple of ms, the sticky effect is triggered, which create keydown events. Type click on the text field and press and hold any key on the keyboard, one character will be inserted first and after a few ms one will repeat endlessly until you release it. In fact, in such cases, I think it's better to use the gameLoop functions, that is, as in all games, one function that is called, for example, 60 times per second, ideally for (60fps) and it already separately calls functions for processing physics, rendering, etc. P. Well, with your example, you can. The handler function is the same gameLoop function

It seems to me that the only way to do this without problems is with the help of timers, for example, something like this , press left-right and zx. The code should not be used, there are logical errors there, but the principle of using timers is shown there.
