Dragon? Are you using a MSI laptop?

When you install Windows, you have choice in the BIOS for regular option or UEFI option...

 

When you see the motherboard logo at boot and a Windows logo after, this is the regular install.

In your case, mobo logo only but probably Windows round "busy" cursor, this is an UEFI install.

 

You can confirm that in the disk manager, you should have 3 Windows partitions instead of 2.

 

If you really want you can reinstall Windows. Put the Windows DVD/USB key in, go in the BIOS and

in the boot section, you should have 1 option for Window DVD/USB key and 1 option for

UEFI Windows DVD/USB key.

So how do you perform a regular install? and have 3 partitions

- it's the same thing as a UEFI, just put your Windows disk in, power on your pc, press DEL key to enter the BIOS, go into the boot overwrite options,

choose the non UEFI version of your Windows disk (probably gonna be the name of your DVD player, without UEFI in front). then boot, install Windows...
