Remove \hfill.

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\begin{document}
\textwidth 13cm
\title{Author: My title}
\author{a. name}
\maketitle
% \hfill
\chapter{Chapter title}
\section{section title}
\end{document}


EDIT: If you also want to align the title near the top of the page, follow Marco Daniel's advice and use the notitlepage class option. (You may still remove \hfill in that case.) Note that the page containing the title will be numbered as "1", and the first chapter will start at page 2.

How to prevent empty page after \maketitle?
My system is on dual boot. I have installed both RHEL 6 and win7 in it. I use RHEL mostly and I want to use my windows' NTFS drive in RHEL. How can I do it? Tell me the procedure.
