Good job running your experiments. That's best way to learn and it sounds like you're now the resident expert on getting LL installed in UEFI mode. Think it probably would be a good idea to write a tutorial spelling out the steps from that video to make it a little easier for people to follow. If you want me to look at it first that's fine, but since you've succeeded at least three times now I'm sure whatever you write will be good.
I'm not sure why the binding doesn't seem to be working with the NTFS formatted partition. That puzzles me. Just to complete test with that setup, can you boot into Windows and create a few test files in the Documents folder on that DATA partition; then reboot into LL and go to Documents in your Home folder and see if they show-up there? (If you've already got some files/folders in Documents, no need to create test docs. Just see if they show up in your LL /home/username/Documents folder.) If they don't show in home, can you see/access them by navigating directly to /mnt/DATA? Report back results and then post back results of following terminal commands so I can double-check for anything that might be causing the problem:
Substitute your username where I have "username" below.
