path = string.Format(@"{0}{1}\{2}", Server.MapPath("~"), @"Files\Images", ShortImage.FileName.ToString());
            ShortImage.InputStream.ResizeImage(150, 150, path, Utilty.ImageComperssion.Normal);

Put a break point to see what path you get, also use Path.Combine to combine path, instead of string.Format. — Habib

This might be a long shot but if your path somewhere where your website cannot access? Granted, you as a windows user may be able to access the "E" drive, but, assuming you are running this from a published site that is not located on E drive or maybe limited to maybe just it's directory, there may be an access issue. Best way to test it is to put the path to something inside the project folder and see what happens.
