I'm afraid that you're going to have to solve it on your own ;).

Raw partition access is a real experts feature. You can start by taking a look at the FAQ: How to Use a MacOS Bootcamp Partition as a VirtualBox Guest, but I remember that there were differences and issues with Windows 8. Also search the Mac forums here for success/failure stories. And remember 3 words of wisdom. Backup, backup, backup!
