Hi,
If you don't like LiveCDs, you still have "old school" options - do you a spare drive? Or you can always try to install straight onto a USB (and not your drive) also, Puppy seems to support dual boot.....
There is always a chance that VirtualBox is part of the problem - it's (least it was) quite heavy and needs plenty of RAM. I don't have any experience with VirtualBox (I've not used it for years), but I do use QEMU/KVM which is a good stable option for Linux.
...Can I assume you're old Laptop is ...
