Virtual memory implementation

I just want to ask that when during os booting process only page files are made in the hard disk of the programs present,then if the virtual memory is made in c drive then will the page file not be made for the programs in d drive and can i make my virtual memory in more than 1 drive,then in that case which will be used for swapping in ans swapping out pages.

    In Linux, we give special partition for virtual memory known as 'Swap Area'. The Virtual memory doesn't reside in anyother partition. It is stand-alone partition. Also, you can't create multiple virtual memory.

    I am now pretty much sure of the fact that either you're trolling or even after discussing this much you didn't understood what virtual memory/swap area really is.

    Ah! That's for Windows. Every OS handles virtual memory in its own specific way. Until now whatever I have wrote was solely based on Linux system. I don't do Windows or OS X.
