Default ¿guid?

Hey, I am trying to install Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard on my intel machine that currently has only 10.5.2. I am trying to install from a USB Flash Drive and not a DVD. Everything is going fine until it says to pick a HDD to install to. Problem is, none of the HDD are GUID. It says to go into Disk Utility, but I can't change anything with Disk Utility ( I just don't have that option). Anyone know any programs or anything that I can change my HDD partition to GUID?

Thnx.

I think you need to boot off the DVD. You can't modify the disk partition table type while booted to it.
