I don't know the answer to that, so the best I can offer on importing 
would be to check the docs or the forums for Virtual Box.

But I do know that Virtual Box offers a wide range of virtual hardware 
settings to emulate a very wide range of hardware expectations.  So if 
you still find the most recent version of Virtual Box doesn't run the 
software you need with its default settings, try adjusting them in the 
System pane and hopefully you'll have as much good fortune with it as I 
have.
