Default Not enough free memory to defragment drive

Despite having 1GB of RAM with 70% free resources I get an error message
stating I have insufficient free memory whenever I try to use Disk
Defragmenter. I have tried closing down all applications and have also tried
running in Safe Mode to defrag. but the same error message appears. The HDD I
am using is a 160GB SATA. Any suggestions?

Correct. However, there is no way to increase the cluster size past 32k,
so OP will have to divide the disk up smaller.

The cluster size is too small for the size of the disk.

Is that one 160GB partition? If so, you need to divide the disk up into smaller
volumes. I would suggest 128GB at the very largest, but prefer closer to 64GB.
