5 GB isn't worth worrying about

With the size of today's hard drives, 5 GB is nothing. You'd likely do more harm than good since that partition was probably put there by your manufacturer for a good reason. It may contain recovery info or it may be used for security or other purposes. Windows provides a disk management tool under the Administrative Tools applet of the Control Panel, but I just remind you that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Good luck.

Such as they have one of those early 10,000 or 15,000 RPM drives and paid dearly for it and want to eek out that last GB.

I can see that (and wonder if such drives do fly.)
