bind-home.conf not binding to /home on LL2.4/win8.1 UEFI dual boot set-up

Goldfinger, here are the answers to your questions - many thanks for this

1.  As I understood it, you originally installed LL in Legacy mode, then followed instructions in video posted by Jerry to convert the install to using UEFI mode.  Is that correct? 

I started the install of LL for dual-boot, once I'd seen Jerry's posted video. The video required that initially the install be carried out in legacy mode, which was switched back to UEFI using Ubuntu 14.10 run as live media towards the end of the video.

2.  Once converted to UEFI mode, were you able to boot into both Windows and LL without needing to toy around with UEFI boot settings?  (You could keep computer set to boot in UEFI mode and successfully boot into both OS's, correct?)  YES, no problems.

3.  When booting in UEFI mode, did you see a grub menu on boot and were you able to successfully boot from that into both Windows and LL?
YES, the grub screen listed both Windows and Ubuntu.

4.  Once you got LL working in UEFI mode, (if you can remember), approximately how many times did you shutoff/reboot computer before the boot problem with LL happened? 

Don't know exactly, but it seemed like several times, but the dual-booting was flawless prior to attempting binding.

5.  Did the LL boot problem coincide with having done any system updates?  Or was it only a problem once you tried to setup the binding to DATA partition?
LL boot problem coincided only with setting up binding (no problem at all before this).  System updates downloaded & installed flawlessly, & was done by Ubuntu live media towards the end of the LL install (on video).

6.  Can you still boot into Windows without any problem and if so, are you using its entry shown in grub menu to boot into it, or are you booting to it some other way?
YES, I choose the windows entry on the grub menu. This is working fine, booting rapidly into Win8.1 (less than 10 seconds)

I should add that when I went back into LL using a live LL DVD, following your instructions, I did this in legacy mode (fast boot off, secure boot off, CSM on).
