If you had been running a TEST forcing it to quit shouldn't have done
anything that would damage the partition or system. But if you were running
a REPAIR and force quit - well you might have quit just as the program was
over-writing some important information. Think about it - while repairing,
data is stored in memory and data is overwritten. Should the program quit at
the wrong time a repair would be incomplete - that could be disaster. That
might be your experience.

I've given the new TechTool two drives that no other program had repaired
and it repaired one of them. I also gave it two drives that Disk Utilities
had pronounced fit and it agreed with both. A 4 drive test ain't much but I
can report that so far it has done no harm.
