[opensuse-factory] Beta 2 and external USB HD

I have an external USB HD attached. The HD is partitioned into a Linux
and a Windows (NTFS) partition.
When I switch on this HD, Beta2 does not recognise the Windows partition and comes up with an error message, "Mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd5, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In [sic] some cases useful useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so". This problem has not occurred in 10.3 or earlier versions. I haven't tried doing the "dmesg | tail or so" thingie.
But as I type this, I repeatedly keep getting on my screen the normal menu(s) which come up when a USB device is plugged in - which I then have to Cancel, but it keeps coming back. Nice.
Any ideas why the Windows partition is not recognised, and how can this be recitifed?
Ciao.
PS Just had a look at dmesg | tail and found this:
ntf8 is no longer supported
use nls=utf8
Now, what has this got to do with me?!
I just have a USB external HD and switch it on so why am I expected to "use nls=utf8" - somewhere, but I don't where.
