Downloaded Lion. Trying to install but the disk does not use GUID.

I tried to install lion on my Macbook Pro and when i try to it says that the disk doesnt use the GUID Partition Table Scheme and to go into Disk Utility and select the disk, click on the partition tab, choose the volume scheme, and click options. It wont let me click options. I was really looking forward to installing lion tonight. Any solutions?

So install Snow Leopard on the Internal drive,
Yes.
then use migration assistant to bring stuff over.
At least two ways to do it. That's one. If you do it with MA, then run all updates before running MA. If you use Setup Assistant when you first restart after the installation, then run the updates after SA is finished.
Do i need to update at all after i migrate everything over since i installed 10.6.
Yes. The installer will only install the basic OS; depending on which installer you have, there will probably be a number of updates to download/install. You'll have to run Software Update and update everything listed there. As I said in an earlier post, I would not bring over anything system related.
or should the migration bring all the updates along with it?
No (see above).
