When the operating system is controlling the page file size, etc., in what
partition or partitions does the operating system put the page file?

On the system partition.

The one the operating system is installed on- the system drive.

It places on the same drive as Windows itself, and unless you have a second
physical disk installed, that is the best place for it..

As I have partitions, would the OS put the page file on the partition I
booted?

The page file should be in the same partition as the operating system or in
a partition on a separate hard drive.. DO NOT put the page file into a
partition on the same drive as the OS..
