Lots of stuff on SmartMedia card problems can be found here:

Net: The SmartMedia cards have unique, camera specific format marks.
Never write to the card from Windoze (including delete let alone format)
Certain reader writer combos come with a utility called "smprep.exe"
which seems to work magic in repairing the damage. Oly does not seem to
have this utility. It's in some third party reader/writers.
