Network Alphabet and numeric values repeat again and again on HDD/Linux-Ubuntu

My system is Linux, Ubuntu. I examine my hard disk drive with a hex editor, it's unencrypted, and when I scroll down, using page down in the ASCII section at right showing the alphanumeric and symbols information, the letters of the alphabet repeat from A-Z along with numbers repeating, followed by some gibberish, a long space of nothing, and more alphabet A-Z and numerical repetition, why is this there it appears like some type of filler why is it there whenever I make a Linux install its there, for what purpose does someone know? Is it a rootkit or trojan? It feels like forever using page down and witnessing all of the repeats of gibberish, alphanumeric information. Googling didn't help me.
