Though I have never done this, I believe that there is a parameter in BIOS that allows you to "un-hide" the IBM partition. The OS (Win or Linux) can then see the partition and you can do whatever with it.

You'll loose the ability to re-install Windows. Before you un-hide the partition you may want to get the install CD(s) from IBM.
