Mongod exiting from VS Code integrated terminal but can run mongo command - mongodb

Question

please help me out.
I have installed MongoDB on my system and I am trying to run mongod from integrated VS Code terminal. I have already installed MongoDB extension for VS Code and also added a connection.
On running mongod command from VS Code integrated terminal (cmd, powershell both), here is the error that I am having:

I am not sure about why this is happening. I have a folder in C:/data/db and I have also added path variables in Environment System variables as well.
What is more startling to me is that I can run the command mongo from my integrated terminal and run all the commands. Please help me out what I am doing wrong.

Answer 1

In D directory I just created a folder named data and inside of it I created another folder named db. Now everything is working fine.

Answer 2

I discovered what I was doing wrong. What I am trying to do is not allowed.
Here is what the docs say
Start mongod Processes By default, MongoDB listens for connections
from clients on port 27017, and stores data in the /data/db directory.
On Windows, this path is on the drive from which you start MongoDB.
For example, if you do not specify a --dbpath, starting a MongoDB
server on the C:\ drive stores all data files in C:\data\db.
To start MongoDB using all defaults, issue the following command at
the system shell:
mongod
You can read more here:
MongoDB Docs
If you want to run the same thing using a mongod command, you should make a .bat file to run the command for you. Here is how you do it:
Go to C:\Windows\System32
Make a .bat file there and name it mongod.bat (you might need to have administrator privileges for that.
Put the following command in .bat file:
start /b call "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.4\bin\mongod.exe"  --dbpath "C:\data\db"
Save the file (again you need admin privileges)
Restart VS Code and try running mongod command. You will be good to go.
