As stated above, my internal hard drive (connected through sata) is being marked as read only. The drive is formatted in ntfs in order to be read/written on my Windows dual boot.
I was able to find a partial fix to the problem through the internet with this command
“sudo mount -o remount,uid=1000,gid=1000,rw /dev/sda2”
However, upon every reboot it goes back to being read only. Is it possible to find a permanent fix to my problem? Any answer would be much appreciated.
Yes, set the options in /etc/fstab (with an editor) 
As you dual boot windows maybe the cause of the issue. You should disable fast startup in windows.
Control Panel>Power options
You can run:
sudo chmod a+rwx mountpoint-of-your-partition
for read-write permission.
This is the output when you run pwd opening a terminal from your drive or partition and should be something like /run/media/$USER/xyzabc
This is a quite common question - which has been asked and answered numerous times.
TL:DR
Reboot into Windows → disable Windows Fast Startup and hybrid sleep/hibernation → run chkdsk c: /F → reboot into Manjaro
Explained
Linux ntfs driver have found the filesystem to be in a dirty state - this happens when you don’t do a clean shutdown from Windows.
