Why any other drive other than the one that contains the OS would need a pagefile is beyond me...
Perhaps i'm missing something though.
What? You just don't see see how much fun this is!

RAM, Virtual Memory, Pagefile and all that stuff

In modern operating systems, including Windows, application programs and many system processes always reference memory using virtual memory addresses which are automatically translated to real (RAM) addresses by the hardware.  Only core parts of the operating system kernel bypass this address translation and use real memory addresses directly.

Just because you find something fun does not mean that we want to hear about it ad nauseum, or that it is the 'thing to do'.
Evil is an exact science.

One of the rules of the forum is to have fun!
I do hope others are smiling with me.  ;D

Sorry about your ad nauseum. Try Rum and Cola.
