Answer 1

First start the server. Goto your installation path. Mine was in "Program Files/Mongodb/server/bin"

You will find a "mongod.exe" application.

However, the server will look for "C:/data" folder for all the databases. So create the "C:/data" folder.

Now start the mongod.exe using command prompt.

>>mongod

After this you may start the client

>>mongo

This worked out for me.
