d3vil,
Your instructions for modifying the GPT worked flawlessly. Super thanks! Should I use Disk Utility to try to increase the size of the Recovery HD partition by reducing the Macintosh HD partition or should I try to format it before restarting the Lion Install? Is there a known recommended size for the Recovery HD partition?
Thanks!

Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING
PARTITIONS!!
Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): Y
OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT).
Warning: The kernel may continue to use old or deleted partitions.
You should reboot or remove the drive.
The operation has completed successfully.
