Thank you, guys. From what i read, I've reached the conclusion that it's not worthy to physically generate a paper wallet.
Which means I instead want to generate it from an offline software. But the problem with that is I want one totally safe. And as long as my system will later connect to the internet, I believe there is no software completely safe to generate my address and key, because a malware could record them.
So I either need to format my hd right after generating the address, which I don't want to do, or I need to buy a new hd JUST to generate a BTC address (ok and later perhaps use armory when I want to spend the btc, which is not anytime soon).
So from what I currently understand, I will need to buy a hd, but it's a shame I didn't find a costless, easy and safe way to generate a paper wallet.

Make private keys with dice: http://www.swansontec.com/bitcoin-dice.html
Too bad it involves booting a computer with linux and other stuff.
BTW, could someone be kind enough to explain what is a private key? In other words, what are the conditions for a sequence of numbers and letters to be a valid BTC private key?

... I mean, without using a computer, in other words, how to generate a paper wallet using only paper and pen, or is it impossible?
