I use Linux on my main desktop, so I never use the companion software. So I do all my firmware updates manually.

Download the latest firmware file: http://updates.irexnet.com/companion/dr1000/device.zip
Extract the System directory to the root of your memory card
Unmount you DR1000
Unplug the USB cable. It will automatically detect the update and ask you if you want to install it. Select Yes.

It's as easy as that. No companion software necessary.
