Yes, but it will require some help from the GIS administrative staff. There is a utility called MXD Doctor that is provided as part of the sample scripts. These sample scripts may or may not have been installed as part of your ArcGIS installation. If not already installed on your computer, the installation can be done by a GIS administrative staff member. Once the MXD Doctor is installed, you will be able to restore a corrupt MXD file.
