Yes. The boot partition is the "System Drive", as referred to by the other posters. This is where Windows prefers to keep it's page file.
You can change the location and size of your paging file as follows:
- Right-click on Computer, then select properties
- Click Advanced system settings. You will need to respond to a UAC prompt
- Under Advanced, click Settings
- Go to the Advanced tab
- Under Virtual Memory, click Change
- Turn off Automatically manage paging file size for all drives
- Now you can set a Custom Size, System Managed Size or No paging File
While this information is good to know, I do not recommend that you do it, and leave the defaults alone, and allow Windows to decide whats best for you system. Experience with my own computers and those I've serviced in the line of duty has taught me that incorrect settings or adjustments to the paging file can and in most cases will lead to serious degration of performance.
Leave the paging file alone.
