As I said, this will bring back most, if not all your contacts. If you had anyone on your list who did NOT have you on theirs, you'll have to add them manually still.
Also you can add all other instant messaging contacts of yours from "Windows Live Messenger Options>Privacy". Here you will see two lists- Allow and Block lists. All other contacts who don't have you but you had them previously in your list will be in those lists because WLM automatically copies the addresses of contacts who you have to Allow list unless you block them, aka move to Block list. You can right click on them and click on "Add to contacts" to easily add them back to your contact list.
