Thanks for the help. As stated in my original post, I'm using IFW v2.99.
Regarding the link provided, what I don't understand is why Byte-for-byte validation fails using IFW using VSS or Pythlock, but runs successfully using IFL booted from a USB flash drive. Seems that since IFL can do successful byte-for-byte validations, my hardware must be OK. Appears that IFW cannot handle something changing while windows is running.

EDIT:
I found the log for IFW v2.99 that failed:
