Well you're quite a bit beyond my experience in Rescue which is something I've never done.
Do note, in Xubuntu install, in order for install to use partition / it must be absolutely empty with nothing in it, nothing restored, nothing written to it, nothing rescued to it. I usually do this by manual install doing a delete followed by a new. However, that's busted in Xubuntu. My workaround was to use gparted to create the partition before booting CD Live to do the install. Then in install I could edit the partition, select mount point /, then select format, and continue install. As far as I can tell, install itself must format the partition so it is quite sure it can use it. I can't give you the keystroke sequence right now because I don't have a blank partition handy; I may later today. I don't remember whether in install I had to unmount the partition to set it to /. It does have to be /, and install does have to do a format as part of its install sequence.
