Put the ISO on a memory stick or SD card. They cost very little, but for
the price of a HDD you could get quite a few of them. They are immune to
shock, magnetic interference and so on, so probably a more reliable form
of mid-term storage than a HDD. Get SD cards with a write-protect tab
for added security....
