Reformatted 64M smart media memory?

I have a 64M smart media memory (Lexar) for my digital camera (Olympus, D450). Somehow when I used the SIIG 8-to-1 reader/writer to transfer the picture contents from the memory to the computer, the smart media memory cannot be used anymore. The digital camera does not recognized that there is a memory inserted into the camera. I think it get reformatted. Is there a way to recover or repair the smart media memory? I have several of these SSFDC and they all cannot be used for my digital camera. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Your smartmedia card has been corrupted. The FAT table or file structure of your smartmedia card has been altered by your computers card reader. Your camera does not recognize the card and will not read or write to it. This problem can be repaired. Try www.smartmediarepair.com I have used this companies service and they have a quick turnaround time. Staff is very friendly and will answer any questions you have. You could try fixing it yourself. There are certain card readers that have a reformat program. The programs are specific to the card reader. Good luck.
