Is there anyone that have any disc like these lying around,even a recovery disk.
The file system of this g3 powerbook is messed up ,folders missing from the drive and files here and there scattered all over the place.

Also will diskkeeper4 repair this

I have a Tiger PowerPC drop-in disk if you want to buy it, R300 and you can come fetch it, it's an original.

Hope you downloaded 7.5.3
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_7#Available_versions
also get the 7.5.5 update

System 7 is really old and not supported anymore... It's best to get OSX since you can install new apllications like firefox if you have OSX.

Don't know how to burn the files to CD though.

osx.mmm but this old powerbook is incapable of running such a system..mmmmmm..i think.

OS X works on a 400mhz G3. How much RAM do you have?

Try to get 10.3 - it will run nicely. 10.4 will too if you disable Dashboard to save some RAM.

Which one is it, the Lombard or Pismo? Some resources at the awesome Lowendmac
The Pismo is the **** by the way.
