The client browser will never know where those images are unless you map a virtual directory to the images. On your local test environment, you could work around this by referencing the image as "file:///E:/XYZ/11-01-01 New Year/myimage.jpg", but this is EXTREMELY bad practice and will never work in a production environment. You should always use relative paths within the application's working directory, or a statically defined virtual directory located elsewhere.
