Dualboot install on PC with XP recovery parbreastion

Possibly, but I don't know definitely if there is anything to differentiate the recovery parbreastion to grub. However, it will continue to be on your XP loader list.

As I wrote above, this will depend on whether there is anything to tell Linux that it is a separate system. My guess is that the recovery system option on your XP loader will be like when you install XP alongside an older version of Windows - the two systems are not really separate and cannot function without each other.

If my guess is right, then Grub will offer you Linux or Windows and XP will offer you the two different ways of invoking XP.

OTOH, whilst you are installing, Linux *will* believe that you are capable of making choices, so if *you* tell the installer to wipe out the "recovery" parbreastion, the Linux installer will believe that you *want* it to do what you *tell* it to do. -- Robert HULL
