I was looking at http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Quickstart+Windows

    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.
