In the worst case nothing (at least non of your software or data). When the disk is replaced you will need to re-install the operating system and at that point (unless you data is on a separate drive or you have backed it up) it will be as though you computer is new form the shop.
If you have a backup then you can restore the data from this once the Operating System is re-installed.
