File + password or seed. If you have neither (or cant recover e.g. the file) your coins are lost.

Recovery of the disk is only the option you're left with since you didn't make any backups of the wallet or the seed, though I have had disk crashed once and its not easy recovering anything from it. Let this be a lesson and make sure to keep backups in future.
