What happens if I shorten a short-stroked partition?

[Rafael Mestdag]

I have a 1TB Seagate HDD and it's divided into 2 partitions: 1 is the short-stroked one with 460GB and the other one is the storage. What happens if I format the short-stroked partition and partition it?

Then you'd lost all data contained within. There won't be any problem.

Just for some hindsight. I once had a 2TB disk partitioned at 60GB for OS and crucial softwares and everything else for storage.
