What if this uprising didn't take place, or failed early on without achieving very much?

How would Slovakia, a nation that, (under a puppet regime or not), had been on Hitler's side during the war, be treated without the partisan uprising to redeem it in the world's, (or perhaps more importantly, the Kremlin's), eyes? Would the state of Czechoslovakia even be re-established? Or would Slovakia be partitioned between the USSR, Poland, and a new, Greater Czech state?
 
Not different at all. Slovakia wasn't considered a legitimate country anyway by the alli es, and the Czechoslovak government in exile was cooperating with Soviets since about 1942 at least to get them to restore pre-war Czechoslovakia
 
I doubt you'd get Slovakia partitioned but you could well get a far more Czech biased Czechoslovakia.
 
The Germans don’t need to deploy 40,000 soldiers to surprise the uprising and the two Slovak infantry divisions will fight ore desert to the Soviets when the reach the border of the Slovak republic.

Other wise the Soviets will establish a government of their choosing when the liberate the country.
 
Unitarian Czech-dominated country is possible (OTL Czechoslovakia was Czech-dominated in fact, but technically it was a federation; without SNU Czech might be given free reign), as Slovaks might be considered German puppets. However, one have to take into account that Slovaks were considered by Soviets to be the weakest link in Axis chain long before the uprising. Slovakian garrisons in USSR often co-operated with Partisans better than with their German overlords :)

So a 'Greater Czechia' scenario would be more likely than a completely partitioned Slovakia?

What would such a country be like, and what would become of the Slovaks? I can imagine a lot of them would end up emigrating.

With Slovakia being created by Nazi after Munich and post-war zeal to "roll back Munich injustice" independent Slovakia is all but impossible.

You would be surprised, but in all practical terms OTL Czechoslovakia was dominated by Czech for most of it's history. It isn't a coincidence that a lot of post-1968 Communist leadership were Slovaks, including Great Leader Husak, Slovaks had chip on shoulder for being treated treated as developmentally challenged junior brothers and this feeling had been exploited by Brezhnev's regime.
