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..
