I've never done ASP so I don't know if this is exactly correct, but
something like this should do the trick:

 <%
        set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

        path = server.mappath ("/images/covers/")
        if fso.fileExists (path & "\" & photofile) then
          %> "
 BORDER="0" width=150
alt="">
                  <%
        else
          %> 
                  <%
        end if
        %>
