However, I am unable to start the MongoDB service from it and throws the following error.

I had same an issue.
Try to remove mongod.lock file from your Mongo data directory.
For example mine is "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Data\mongod.lock" and after deleting file start the MongoDB service and it's work like charm.
