You need to rebuild your SDCard. The ext4 rootfs is unreadable.

Thanks you Dougie
Not sure "how" to rebuild the SDCard
I tried to reformat several times using the SD Formatter but same results?
Is there a tutorial?
I am running Windows

When you used SDFormatter, did you remember to set the format size adjustment option to 'ON'?

Read the Quick Start Guide which is linked from the Downloads Page on the http://www.raspberrypi.org website.

SDFormatter gives you a clean/blank card. You then need to re-instate the NOOBS installer.
