Ex-fat format on mac drive

MAC MINI/2.6GHZ/8GB/1TB-CHN

OS X El Capitan,

I bought a 1 TB Mac mini last month. As usual, I partitioned the Hard drive in to Macintosh (250 GB) and ABC (750 GB). Last week i was move files of more than 4 GB so i decided to format a USB using ex-fat. Unfortunately both my USB and my partitioned hard drive ABC (750 GB) had same names. I mistakenly formatted the partitioned hard drive using ex-fat, ending in all the data erased as well cannot find the partitioned hard drive on My finders. Only Macintosh (250 GB) is visible.

My question is

1. how to bring back my partitioned hard drive ABC (750 GB)?

2. is it possible to retrieve the lost data?

Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11)
