There's really almost no chance that it's a 5.25" hard drive. 5.25" enclosures are normally for optical disk drives (CD ROMs and the like) - if your drive is narrower than your CD ROM drive then it's a 3.5" (nearly ALL desktop hard drives, at least those made in the past 7-10 years) are 3.5" drives. Of course if you want to be really sure measure: the distance they're talking about is across short length of drive (from side-mounting screw to side-mounting screw across the drive).
