Access denied attempting to create a folder on the server

Question

Every new project that the client registers the system creates a folder to store the images located in "\Images\Projects{ProjectID}" where {ProjectID} is the ID project.

I put in the folder "\Images\Projects\" a web.config to allow access to users logged on.

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <authorization>
            <deny users="?" />
        </authorization>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

When creating the folder, the error is displayed:

Access to the path 'e:\home\amsdarquit\Web\Images\Projects\166' is denied.

166 is the project code, and the folder name. I checked on my server, and the same is not created.

Code to create the folder

//Save Image
var serverPath = Server.MapPath(Href("~/Images/Projects/") + id);
Directory.CreateDirectory(serverPath);
imgOri.Save(Path.Combine(serverPath, fileName));

I have looked on the site, but found nothing to help me.

Check whether 'NETWORK SERVICE' user (or the user that you run your application as) has modification rights for the parent directory on the drive.
