I'm fairly certain the uid and gid in fstab are only used for Windows filesystem not linux filesystems.
If you want an old school method the general procedure is something like this - it's been a very long time since I've done this but:
(1) Create a new group - sharedata with a group id that is the same for every OS you have making sure it doesn't conflict with an existing gid.
(2) Make the default umask for each user on each OS = 002
(3) Change the group of the shared directory to sharedata
(4) Change permissions of the shared directory to allow all members of the sharedata group to have access and so that all new files / directories will inherit the sharedata group:
Code:
sudo chmod 2775 /media/Data
Or you can use bindfs:

The implementation of bindfs may be different for each OS but it will make every user on every OS think he owns the partition and it's contents. Essentially making a Linux partition appear to be an NTFS partition.
