Add new table in Magento Create New Order Section

Question

I am trying to figure out how to add a new section in the admin area for creating a new order. This is an update that I am doing to my custom extension. The extension works great but I can't seem to figure out why I cannot add a new section under the create a new order.

If you help me add a block to this section than you will receive a 50 point bounty.

Here is what I have.

Module/Name/Block/Adminhtml/Sales/Order/Create/test.phtml

<?php

class Module_Name_Block_Adminhtml_Sales_Order_Create_Test extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Sales_Order_Create_Abstract
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->_controller = 'adminhtml_sales_order_create_test';
        $this->_blockGroup = 'module_name';
        $this->_headerText = Mage::helper('module_name')->__('Update');
        parent::__construct();
        $this->_removeButton('add');

    }  

    public function getHeaderText()
    {
        return Mage::helper('module_name')->__('Edit');
    }
}

Module/Name/controllers/Adminhtml/Sales/Order/CreateController.php

<?php

    class Module_Name_Adminhtml_Sales_Order_CreateController extends Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_Action
    {
        public function indexAction()
        {
            $this->loadLayout();
            $this->renderLayout();
            return $this;

           // If I echo something here I do see what I echo
        }
    }

Chris, as far as i understand you need to have a new block on Sales -> Create New Order page, and in that block you want to show above template content i.e this is working. Please confirm ? — Sunil Verma
Can you please Add which magento Version are you using, thanks — Ahmed C

Try replacing this code from your layout file:

<adminhtml_sales_order_create_index>
    <reference name="root">
         <block type="module_name/adminhtml_sales_order_create_test" name="test" template="module/name/sales/order/create/test/test.phtml" />
     </reference>
</adminhtml_sales_order_create_index>

With this:

<adminhtml_sales_order_create_index>
    <reference name="order_item_extra_info">
         <block type="module_name/adminhtml_sales_order_create_test" name="test" template="module/name/sales/order/create/test/test.phtml" />
     </reference>
</adminhtml_sales_order_create_index>
