EAC almost killed my drive

Okay, under Drive properties for my Liteon 40125S, I decided to create an EAC Test Offset CD. I click Write CD, then clicked the following prompt and it began writing the CD (with buffer under run support). Anyways it got to 100% and wouldn't stop. So the orange light on my drive keeps flashing and i waited 3 minutes. Then I clicked cancel on the EAC write CD dialog, but the darn thing didn't cancel. Then I shut down EAC by using clt-alt-esc in WinXP and closed the program. The light was still flashing. I then decided to reboot the system. Luckily the drive seems operational, but I'm not sure if it is 'damaged.'

I'm gonna do some tests but what do u guys think? anyone been through something similar. IMO EAC should stick to reading CDs and not write CDs, or at least properly test their write CD code.
