Trust me in this thus far, I haven't made a mistake burning the installer, I haven't been deceived by a broken USB port, this is an issue with this specific MBP model (8.2, early 2011). Only the BIOS option shows up, so the installation believes your computer runs in BIOS mode, and asks you to convert your GPT disk into MBR before installing windows (in BIOS mode, obviously). However, booting the CD (or anything for that matter) in EFI mode is not permitted. In this MBP model you have to use the optic drive and perform the installation from a CD as it doesn't let you boot anything from a USB. The way around this for most Mac users has been to directly boot into a USB drive containing the Windows ISO file.
