Well you run it on b: drive. You need to have b:/data/db or set up --dbpath explicitly.

@Meai: the error is the following line

> std::exception: dbpath (/data/db/) does not exist, terminating

You will need to set

 a) create that path OR

 b) --dbpath when you run

Please see here for more details on command line parameters:

You also need to check that the user that starts mongod also has permissions to read and write into this directory.
