(everything OK now, don't bother reading everything)
I have a Philips DVDR1648P1 dvd burner.
I use it with a USB-to-IDE cable with my notebook, and so far it's never given me any trouble burning DVDs at 4x.
I used it as a DVD reader on a standard desktop computer a few days ago (switched the jumper from master to slave), and it worked perfectly. Switched it back today, connected it to the notebook, and it won't burn. Any attempt to burn a DVD causes a session fixation error (read below for the log).
Nothing gets actually written on the discs either, so at least I'm not producing coasters.
I tried using another disc, but to no avail.
It will also not read DVDs I burned with it when it worked (gives an "incorrect function" error; the crappy burner in the notebook reads the discs, so I know it's not their fault). It will, however, read original CDs (I don't have any original DVDs at hand, though).
I'm stumped.
I've had burners die on me in the past, but they usually start misbehaving in non-terminal ways some time before completely dying; I'd be surprised it this one suddenly decided it wouldn't work any longer.
I'm hoping it's some kind of interface error, but I can't see what I'm doing wrong, as the same cable works perfectly for hard disks and always worked with the burner up until today.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: not two minutes after I posted this, it resumed working. It's burning as I write.
I have no idea what happened, but it seems happy as a clam now, so I'm gonna cross my fingers and hope it was just windows screwing up.
