Answer 1

I think your log output states it clearly;

exception in initAndListen: 10296 dbpath (/data/db) does not exist, terminating

You may simply create this directory or better to define it as a configuration value within your configuration file then use it as mongod -f C:\path\to\your\mongodb.conf.

Answer 2

After installing the MongoDB you should manually create a data folder.

By default MongoDB will store data in /data/db, 
but it won't automatically create that directory. To create it, do:

$ sudo mkdir -p /data/db/
$ sudo chown `id -u` /data/db

You can also tell MongoDB to use a different data directory,
with the --dbpath option.

For more detailed information go to MongoDB wiki page.

Answer 3

mongod --dbpath "c://data/db"

run the above code, this will start the server.
