So I have 2010 or 12 macbook pro,not sure the serial number will be in the pics posted along withI had windows 10 installed on it, and somehow or another, the windows got corrupted, and ended up writie protecting the drive, and when I go into the cmd it says that the volume which is now boot drive x: is write protected, and it says that I can't format it due to this issue. I know that there has got to be someway to resolve this issue, as this is a software issue, and not a hardware issue. If someone could please help me I'd greatly appreciate it. I have attached what I am seeing in windows for the hard drive, when it comes to the option of attempting to format the drive.
