To show all of the available directories and subdirectories at the same time, you are going to need to use a graphical representation such as the undocumented uitree() call. Your will probably have difficulty reading the result.
You will also have difficulty with any MS Windows release from XP onwards, with representing the hard links implemented by Windows Side By Side: if you are not actively checking for the situation of a directory loop then you will end up with an indefinitely long list of directories in the tree.
I really recommend that you reconsider. Having the user able to see one particular directory at a time, and its sub-directories, and navigate "up one level" or "into a directory" or "pick this directory here!" is not difficult, but having all the available directories requires building a complete map of your file system that might have loops in the tree.
