Finder Windows+NTFS

Is there any way to add the sidebar to NTFS windows in Finder.

My NTFS (actually anything not HFS+) look like this



when I want them to look like this

Photobucket was being dumb.

So you're saying if you click on the BOOTCAMP drive on the sidebar, the sidebar disappears?

On my desktop, I have both the drive icons for my Bootcamp partition and my OS X partition.

If I open the Bootcamp drive, I get the above picture without the sidebar. Also, any folders I open will open in a new window as opposed to the same window. It gets annoying if I have to open a bunch of folders to get to a specific file.

If I open my HFS drive partition, everything works fine. I can access my Bootcamp partition via the sidebar and everything stays inside the same window.

I was thinking its because OS X can't write to NTFS drives, but a drive I have formatted for exFAT behaves the same way.

Got it.

It was due to the fact that OS X doesn't write to NTFS drives. I just installed the trial for Paragon NTFS, rebooted my computer and now its working just fine.
