No choice but to pull the battery. Depending on where you were in Download Mode at the time, that COULD be bad. Download mode is not really for drivers, that is a way to load things onto the phone entire- A whole ROM for example.

Will your phone boot at all at this point? What happens if you try to boot normally after doing the battery hokey-pokey?

It does install drivers if you plug it in on download mode (at least it does for me). I think you need the regular USB drivers installed though. What directions are you using to upgrade?
