You may have to install Kalyway with MRB instead of GUID. You will see this option during customize install.
MBR/GUID partitioning has nothing to do with when you "customize" your install. You don't even have to install in order to select whether to format/repartition.

When you boot into the DVD, select from the menu bar Utilities -> Disk Utility. From here select the DISK (not volume/partition) you want to install to. You will need to repartition this disk so click the tab that says "Partition"... click on "Options" then select MBR partition scheme then "OK". From here you can also select how many partitions you want on your disk, the size and FORMAT (important for windows partition) of each, and rename them accordingly.

Now, I would suggest you restart and install Windows first (to the second partition/volume as you mentioned) then install OS X afterward (to the first partition/volume) as OS X will install its chameleon bootloader (if it doesn't install chameleon then do what matrix123 suggested and boot using the DVD to get in to the OS X system and install chameleon from the site I mentioned above) and allow you to select at boot which partition to boot from if you interrupt the booting timeout.

All should be well with the world now.
