that looks like you are trying to install VBox within another Vbox. Good for you. Test the limits.
You're going to need a lot of HDD space on your first one to deal with your second one and lots of RAM to deal with all of it together.
You're going to have to install Box in your second Install of a Linux OS just like it was a normal OS. Mirror effect. you have to mimic the original one to get another one.

Any help would be much appreciated. cheers

The BIOS is important only in the aspect that it needs to have virtualization turned on within it. If you do not see anything for virtualization in your bios then you maybe up pooos creek without a paddle. That being said.
after install you have to set your user to the group it creates I forget the name but it is something like
or something similar with that within it.
to see what it is called.
Code:
su
password
usermod -aG VboxGroup UserName
exit
oracle virtualbox instructions

It should be in your system part of the menu. That is the only place I've ever seen in.
