I have preinstalled Windows 8 on laptop (Toshiba P870) with secure boot enabled.
Will it still boot if I disable secure boot in BIOS?

I have 2 HDD - Windows 8 installed on first drive.
When I install linux on second drive - I have authentication error booting it.

Wil Windows 8 boot OK if I disable secure boot in BIOS?

You will need to add the Secure Boot authentication code to the UEFI/BIOS firmware settings. If want Secure Boot ENABLED.
