I have 3 .cpt files in my directory: md.cpt , state.cpt  and state_prev.cpt .
What does each one mean?

I guess I need to use the last cpt in my command # mpirun -np 32 mdrun_mpi -s 
md.tpr -o md.trr -c md.gro -e md.edr  -g md.log -cpi md.cpt -v
And the md.cpt is not the correct .cpt file in my command.

Sincerely,
Shima

It looks like you're mixing up your cpt files. Since you didn't specify a 
filename for -cpo I bet your simulation produced "state.cpt", so you need to 
instruct mdrun to use that one as cpt input.
