Sync Contacts FROM phone TO outlook on desktop?

[AceszHigh]

Hey guys,
I had recently re-formatted my computer and when I installed activesync and sync-ed the first time, instead of updating my computer with the contacts on my device, it just erased all the contacts/tasks on my device! Luckily I had signed up for dashwire a few days earlier... But my question is how do I get my contacts from my phone onto outlook? Before I re installed activesync, I'm prety sure it used to update any changes from my contacts on my phone to the the computer, and not erase them...
