What if I make backup of Windows XP (say, with Acronis) on VMware and store it on shared folders with original Windows and after restore this backup on my Windows XP installed on hard drive? Thanx.

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

It won't work because of difference between virtual hardware in your VMware virtual machine and real hardware.

Windows is choosing proper chipset drivers during installation and it's very hard (if not impossible) to change them later.
