Are you referring to This or something like this?

The first one is normal.

The second one you can fix by editting your boot.ini (normally hidden in C:\) file.

The first one is supposed to be there. Perfectly normal.

I suppose you could change the NTLDR file and just make it a black screen though.

You'd be better off not worrying about it.

The bar below the logo is NOT a progress bar. It's just something to show that it's working. Some computers may go through that animation several times.
