You may either burn the iso image to a DVD or save it on USB drive.

Detail instructions of installing Windows 8 on Oracle Virtual Box could be found at  http://windows8installation.com/?s=network+adapter&x=0&y=0 . 
 Please pay attention to the steps to choose network adapter.

When installing Windows 8 on Oracle Virtual Box, please check the System Requirements and set the corresponding configuration parameters correctly for the virtual machine.

I did not experience any issue when I went through the installing process,
but it took a little bit longer for my host laptop to install and create the VM.
Now it runs perfectly on top of the host machine. 

Please note that, if your PC has multiple cores,
you may consider choose a certain numbers of cores for the Windows 8 virtual machine. This could be done in the settings of the virtual machine. But remember please do not assign all cores and RAM to the virtual machine, otherwise you may run into problem with the host machine, such as slow response or freeze. You can always change this settings every time before you start up the virtual machine.
